What it is and who needs it.
What the demolition bond actually covers
The City of Shelby registers demolition contractors and conditions demolition permits on a surety bond. The bond is a guarantee to the city that you’ll demolish safely, cap utilities, clear and grade the site, and otherwise follow the city’s demolition requirements and code.
If a contractor leaves a demolition site unsafe or unrestored — open foundations, debris, uncapped utilities, damaged right of way — the City of Shelby can recover against the bond to make it right. The amount is set by the city for the work involved.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who demolish cleanly and restore the site treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk. We issue the amount the city set; pricing starts from $100, and no credit check up to $100,000.

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 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.
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

What sets the price
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
