About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A demolition contractor bond is a compliance guarantee the City of San Antonio holds while you tear structures down. It stands behind your work following the city's demolition, building, and safety requirements — including proper permitting, debris handling, and restoration of the site.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of San Antonio (the obligee), with the public and property owners as the protected parties. If you violate the demolition ordinance or damage public property, the harmed party can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who pull permits and demolish to code treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk. We track it and notify you 60 and 30 days before expiration.

City of San Antonio — Development Services / Building CodeThe City of San Antonio requires a $5,000 surety bond as a condition of registering as a demolition contractor, administered through the City's Development Services Department under its building and demolition code. The City sets the bond amount and terms; the obligee is the City of San Antonio. Confirm the current registration requirements with Development Services before filing.
