What is this bond?

The City of Detroit Wrecking Contractor Bond is a surety bond that guarantees demolition professionals will adhere to local building codes, safety regulations, and environmental standards during their operations. It provides a financial guarantee to the city and the public in case the contractor leaves a site in a hazardous condition, causes damage to city property, or fails to complete a job as agreed.

Who needs it?

Individuals or businesses acting as wrecking or demolition contractors within the City of Detroit generally need this bond. It is typically a mandatory step in the local contractor licensing or permit approval process before any structural demolition work can commence.

Why is it required?

The City of Detroit requires this bond to protect the municipality and its residents from the high risks associated with demolition work, such as damage to public infrastructure or improper handling of hazardous debris. It ensures that contractors will properly secure, clean, and restore sites according to local standards. If a contractor violates these terms, the bond provides a mechanism for financial recovery.
