The City of Toledo conditions over-the-curb demolition work on a $1,000 surety bond filed with the city. Three percent of $1,000 is $30, which lands at our $275 minimum — and the application is five minutes with no credit check.
















Municipal right-of-way bonds are about the simplest thing in surety. Here's the whole process:
Business details, your contractor type, and an effective date. No financials and no credit check section on this bond.
Small municipal bonds like this issue right after purchase in most cases. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with Toledo’s demolition permitting. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$1,000 bond × 3% = $30, which is below our $275 minimum — so the premium is $275 per term. Multi-year if you want it.
A Toledo over-the-curb demolition bond is a right-of-way guarantee to the city. It backs your promise to protect and restore the public curb, sidewalk, and street when demolition debris or equipment crosses the right-of-way.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Toledo (the obligee). If the curb or street is damaged during demolition and not restored, the city can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who protect the right-of-way and restore the curb treat the bond as a permit formality, nothing more.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
