The City of Tyler requires a demolition permit bond before it lets a contractor tear down a structure. The city's Development Services / Building office sets the amount on your permit; pricing is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — your exact price appears at the application.
















No underwriting queue for the standard demolition bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the City of Tyler. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount Tyler required, and the effective date — that is the entire application. It collects no credit information.
Most applications approve instantly at the standard amount — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay.
Submit the executed bond with your City of Tyler demolition permit application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the city insists on them.
Demolition disturbs streets, utilities, and neighboring property — so before the City of Tyler issues a demolition permit, it requires a bond. The bond stands behind the safe teardown and proper site restoration of the structure being removed.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Tyler (the obligee). The bond guarantees you will cap utilities, fill and grade the site, and leave it safe per the permit conditions.
It is not insurance for you. If the city draws on the bond to finish or correct the work, you repay the surety. Contractors who cap, clear, and close out cleanly treat the bond as a permit formality.
Submit the application with the bond amount Tyler set — the executed bond is generated for the standard amount, ready to file.
