About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the demolition bond actually covers

The City of Newburgh regulates the demolition of buildings through its Bureau of Code Compliance, which is the agency having jurisdiction over demolition in the City. Before a demolition permit is issued, the contractor must keep the City adequately secured against liability for bodily injury or death to people not employed by the contractor that results from an accident during the work.

That security can take the form of a surety bond or a liability insurance policy, in an amount commensurate with the risks of the demolition. The bond amount is determined by the Code Compliance Supervisor and approved by the City Manager — so the figure on your permit is the figure we bond.

It is a three-party guarantee: you (the principal), the surety, and the City of Newburgh (the obligee). If the demolition causes covered harm and you do not make it right, the City can recover against the bond up to its penal sum. We bond the amount the City set, with pricing from $100 — no credit check up to $100,000, and most applications approve instantly.

City of Newburgh Code — Demolition of Buildings (Bureau of Code Compliance)The City of Newburgh requires this bond as a condition of a demolition permit. The City Code governing demolition of buildings designates the Bureau of Code Compliance as the agency having jurisdiction and requires the contractor to keep the City secured against liability from the work, by surety bond or liability policy, in an amount commensurate with the risk. The bond amount is set by the Code Compliance Supervisor and approved by the City Manager — confirm the figure on your permit.

After you buy

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.

If a claim is made

A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.

The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.

Renewal and term

The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.

Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.

How to file it

File with Code Compliance. Submit the executed bond with your demolition permit application to the City of Newburgh Bureau of Code Compliance. Wet-ink originals mailed when the City asks for them.

What sets the price

The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.

No credit check up to $100,000.

One application, issued on the spot.

Submit the application with the bond amount the City of Newburgh set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file with Code Compliance.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the City of Newburgh demolition bond?Pricing is variable — it starts from $100 and depends on the bond amount and your applicant profile. The amount itself is set by the City — the Code Compliance Supervisor determines it and the City Manager approves it, commensurate with the demolition risk. Enter the figure on your permit and your exact price — 0.5% of that amount, $100 minimum — appears at the application.
Do I pay the full bond amount?No. You pay the premium, which starts from $100 depending on the bond amount. The bond amount is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made, not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Is there a credit check?No credit check up to $100,000. Larger amounts were not checked for every entity type. Most applications approve instantly.
Can I post insurance instead of a bond?The City allows the required security to be a surety bond or a liability insurance policy. Many contractors choose the bond because it is fast and inexpensive to file. Confirm with Code Compliance which form they want on your permit.
Where do I file it?With the City of Newburgh Bureau of Code Compliance, alongside your demolition permit application. We issue the executed bond ready to submit.
Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
