What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Canton registers demolition contractors through its Building Department and conditions that registration on a $10,000 surety bond given to the City. The bond is a City-and-public-protection guarantee standing behind your compliance with Canton's demolition code — a category the City watches closely given the safety stakes of tearing down structures.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Canton (the obligee). The bond conditions you to save and keep the City harmless from loss or damage arising from your failure — or your employees' and agents' failure — to comply with the City's demolition chapter.
The bond stays in force for each period your Canton registration is active. Let it lapse and your registration is no longer in good standing — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $10,000 filing continuous.
