The Township of Union requires a $10,000 bond from contractors who perform demolition work in the township. Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount — and the application is five minutes, with no credit check on this bond.
















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 check 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.
$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
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 — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
