The City of Shelby requires demolition contractors to post a bond to register and pull demolition permits — a guarantee that you’ll demolish safely, restore the site, and follow the city’s requirements. Enter the amount the city set — pricing is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum.
















No underwriting queue for the standard demolition bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the city. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount the city required, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
The application collects no credit information, and most applicants are issued the executed bond instantly as soon as they pay. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
Submit the executed bond with your demolition contractor registration or permit. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
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 the application collects no credit information.
Submit the application with the bond amount the City of Shelby set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
