What it is and who needs it.
What the demolition bond actually covers
A demolition permit bond is a completion and restoration guarantee to the City of Westlake. It says the structure will be taken down safely, utilities disconnected, the basement and debris removed, and the site graded and stabilized to the city's standards.
Demolition leaves a hole — literally — so the city wants a financial backstop that the lot won't be left as an open hazard, and that adjacent sidewalks, curbs, and right-of-way are restored.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Westlake (the obligee). We issue the amount the city set, with premiums set at 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum.
