Frequently asked

Common questions.

What does the City of Birmingham Building Wrecker’s Bond guarantee?

It guarantees that a demolition (wrecking) contractor will follow safety rules, properly dispose of debris, complete the demolition work correctly, and comply with City of Birmingham regulations. If the contractor damages neighboring properties, leaves a dangerous mess, or fails to follow city regulations, the bond can provide money to fix those problems.

How is the bond amount determined for a Birmingham demolition project?

The bond amount varies depending on the project size and scope. Contractors should confirm the required bond amount for their specific project through the City of Birmingham’s permitting resources.

Is this bond tied to one project or all demolition work a contractor performs?

It is described as a Singular Bond, meaning it is associated with individual projects (including those up to $50,000 in scope) rather than serving as a blanket bond for all demolition work.
