The City of San Antonio requires a $5,000 demolition contractor bond as a condition of registering to perform demolition work in the city. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the price you pay, the same for every contractor. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















Municipal registration bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Registration bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your contractor registration at the City. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
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.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because the application collects no credit information for this bond.
