What is this bond?

The Boston Demolition or Foundation Permit Bond is a financial guarantee required by the city for contractors performing demolition or excavation work. It ensures that the contractor will complete the work safely and adhere to all local building codes. If the contractor causes damage or abandons the project, the bond provides financial compensation to the city or affected parties.

Who needs it?

Contractors and construction companies planning to tear down structures or lay foundations within the City of Boston typically need this bond. It is generally required before the city will issue the necessary permits to begin site work.

Why is it required?

The City of Boston requires this bond to protect public safety, local infrastructure, and taxpayers from damages associated with high-risk construction activities. It serves as a guarantee that contractors will clear debris, protect adjoining properties, and follow all municipal regulations. If a contractor fails to meet these obligations, the bond covers the cost of city interventions or repairs.
