What it is and who needs it.
What the demolition bond guarantees
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.

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.
How to file it
File with Tyler Development Services. Submit the executed bond with your City of Tyler demolition permit application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the city insists on them.
What sets the price
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $1,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
