About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the demolition bond actually covers

Demolition in the City of St. Louis is tightly controlled — the city has a large stock of older and historic structures, and a botched demolition can damage neighboring buildings, leave debris, or create a hazard. The city's Building Division (Department of Public Safety) certifies demolition contractors and conditions that on a surety bond.

Without the bond, a demolition permit will not issue, and any work already started is subject to a stop order. The bond stands behind safe, code-compliant demolition and proper site cleanup — if a contractor leaves a hazard or violates the city's demolition rules, the city can recover against it.

Because the work varies, the amount is whatever the City of St. Louis sets. Enter that figure and we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check — and you bring proof of workers' compensation coverage to the Building Division along with it.
