What it is and who needs it.
What the demolition bond actually covers
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.

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 the Oyster Bay Building Division. Submit the executed bond with your demolition permit application to the Town of Oyster Bay. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Town insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount plus a $25 fee, $125 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
