The City of St. Louis requires a demolition contractor bond before its Building Division issues a demolition permit — no bond, no permit, and any work already started is subject to a stop order. The city sets the amount; we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
















No underwriting queue for the standard demolition bond — enter the amount the city set, pay, and file with the Building Division. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount the City of St. Louis required, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
No credit check and no waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
Submit the executed bond to the City of St. Louis Building Division (Department of Public Safety) to certify as a demolition contractor and pull permits. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the city insists.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. Enter the figure the City of St. Louis set and the premium updates.
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.
Submit the application with the bond amount the City of St. Louis set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file with the Building Division.
