What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Massillon conditions demolition work on a $10,000 surety bond. Demolition touches public utilities, neighboring property, and the right-of-way, so the bond is a public-protection and site-restoration guarantee: it stands behind you securing the site, disconnecting utilities properly, and restoring the lot to code.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Massillon (the obligee), with the public and adjacent owners as the protected parties. If a demolition contractor damages public property, leaves an unsafe site, or fails to restore it, the city 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 follow the city's demolition rules and close out their permits treat the bond as a registration formality, and we keep your $10,000 filing continuous with renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.

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 $10,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
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 City of Massillon. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the City of Massillon for your demolition registration or permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
