About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of Ontario licenses commercial demolition contractors before they can pull demolition permits and tear down structures in the city. The license is conditioned on a $50,000 demolition contractor bond running to the City of Ontario as obligee.

Demolition is high-risk work, which is why the bond runs larger than a standard contractor bond. It guarantees you will perform demolition to the City's code, properly cap utilities, control debris and dust, restore the site, and follow the terms of your license and permit. If you violate those terms and the City or a neighbor is harmed, they can recover against the bond.

The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and the City can suspend your license — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $50,000 filing continuous.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the City of Ontario commercial demolition bond? +
The premium is $1,500 — a flat 3% of the fixed $50,000 bond amount, the same for every demolition contractor. The $50,000 is set by the City, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $50,000? +
No. You pay $1,500. The $50,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond? +
License bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many contractors finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Fixed-amount municipal license bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the license. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your license never lapses over a missed email.
