The Town of Oyster Bay requires a surety bond before it issues a demolition permit. The bond is filed with the Town's Building Division and protects the Town and the public during the teardown. Premiums run 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — enter the amount the Town set and your exact price appears at the application. The application collects no credit information.
















No underwriting queue for most demolition permit bonds — enter your amount, apply, and file with the Town. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the demolition site address, the bond amount the Town required, and the effective date — that is the entire application. There is no credit section.
Most applicants are approved and issued as soon as you pay. If a check runs on your file, it is a soft pull that never affects your score. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
Submit the executed bond with your demolition permit application to the Town of Oyster Bay. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Town insists.
The Town of Oyster Bay conditions a demolition permit on a surety bond filed with its Building Division. Demolition disturbs sidewalks, curbs, utilities, and neighboring property, so the Town wants a financial backstop before the work starts.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the Town of Oyster Bay (the obligee). If demolition damages Town property or the site is left unsafe or un-restored, the Town can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who demolish cleanly, protect the public way, and restore the site treat the bond as a permit formality.
Submit the application with the bond amount the Town of Oyster Bay set — premiums run 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, and most applicants see their bond issued right away.
