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.

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 $50,000 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.
