What it is and who needs it.
What the Cumberland demolish/move bond covers
The Town of Cumberland conditions a permit to demolish or relocate a structure on a surety bond filed with the town. The bond guarantees that a contractor clears debris, caps utilities, restores the lot, and repairs any street the building or equipment crosses during a move.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the Town of Cumberland (the obligee). If a site is left unsafe or a road is damaged in the move, the town can recover its costs against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the town, you repay the surety. Contractors who finish and restore the site treat the bond as a permit formality. The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum, 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.
