Duluth wrecker performance bonds.
$300. Five minutes.
The City of Duluth requires a fixed $10,000 performance bond for a wrecker’s (demolition) license at a single location — the license to demolish and wreck structures within the City. Ours is $300 flat, which is 3% of the bond amount, with no credit check.

What it is and who needs it.
What the wrecker performance bond guarantees
The City of Duluth licenses wreckers — the contractors who demolish and remove structures — and conditions a single-location wrecker’s license on a fixed $10,000 performance bond. The bond is a performance and public-protection guarantee: it stands behind your demolition work following the City’s rules and the site and right-of-way being restored after the wreck.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Duluth (the obligee). If a wrecker leaves an unsafe site, fails to restore the right-of-way, or damages City property, the City can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Wreckers who demolish to the City’s standards and clean up treat the $10,000 bond as a routine license formality.
