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.

No credit check and no waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick review.

Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. Enter the figure the City of Shelby set and the premium updates.
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, at a flat 3% with no credit check.
Submit the application with the bond amount the City of Shelby set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
