What it is and who needs it.
What the demolition bond actually covers
Before a structure comes down inside the City of Alexandria, the City issues a demolition permit — and it can condition that permit on a surety bond. The bond is a public-protection guarantee: it backs the safe completion of the demolition, proper site restoration, and any obligations to the City's streets, sidewalks, and utilities affected by the work.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Alexandria (the obligee). If a demolition is abandoned, leaves a hazard, or damages public property and the contractor doesn't make it right, the City can recover against the bond to cover the cost.
The City sets the amount on your permit, usually tied to the scope or cost of the work. Whatever figure applies, we issue the bond at 0.5% of that amount, with a $100 minimum — and if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.

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 the City of Alexandria. Submit the executed bond to satisfy your City of Alexandria demolition permit. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
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 $100,000. 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.
