About this bond

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.
