The Township of Union requires a $10,000 bond from contractors who perform demolition work in the township. Ours is $100 flat, issued instantly — The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















Municipal contractor bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit section.
Fixed-amount municipal bonds like this are among the bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the Township of Union construction office alongside your demolition permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A demolition contractor bond is a performance-and-compliance guarantee to the Township of Union. Demolition affects neighboring property, utilities, and the public right-of-way, so the township wants a financial backstop that contractors will do the work safely, restore the site, and follow township requirements.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Township of Union (the obligee). If a contractor damages township property, leaves a hazardous site, or violates the township's demolition rules, the township or a harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who finish their work cleanly and follow the township's rules treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
These are the actual issuing fields — the application collects no credit information.
