Minneapolis Class A wrecker bonds.
$250 flat.
To hold a Class A building wrecker license in Minneapolis — the unrestricted class, able to demolish a building of any size or height — the City requires a fixed $50,000 bond on file with Business Licenses & Consumer Services. Ours is $250 flat — the same for every Class A wrecker. The application collects no credit information.

What it is and who needs it.
What the Minneapolis Class A wrecker bond guarantees
The City of Minneapolis licenses building wreckers through its Business Licenses & Consumer Services division, and splits the license into Class A (unrestricted — any building regardless of size or height) and Class B (a $10,000-bonded, more limited tier). Demolition on this scale, done wrong, can leave debris, unsafe openings, or damaged utilities behind — the bond gives the City a financial backstop.
The bond is a compliance guarantee running to the City of Minneapolis: it stands behind a Class A wrecker's obligation to demolish structures according to City permit conditions and to clean up and secure the site afterward. If a licensee fails to comply, the City can bring a claim against the bond.
It's a three-party arrangement — you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Minneapolis (the obligee). It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond has to stay active for the life of your Class A license, so we track it and send renewal notices ahead of expiration.
