What this bond does
Rhode Island General Laws section 23-27.3-116.8 calls for insurance and a 100% performance bond before issuance of a permit to move or demolish a building, filed with the local building official or the state commissioner for a state project. Obtain Cumberland's instructions for the precise secured work and amount.
- Who needs it
- The owner, contractor or other entity the Cumberland permit request names as the bond principal. Do not assume that the building mover and demolition contractor are interchangeable applicants.
- Who it protects
- This performance security concerns the permitted demolition or moving obligation, not general excavation licensing. Insurance is separately required. A state-project guide's State of Rhode Island co-insured instructions do not establish Cumberland's obligee or insurance wording.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Questions about this bond
Is this general land-grading security?
No. This listing concerns permission to demolish or move a building. The actual permit and accepted form determine the secured obligations; do not substitute it for an unrelated grading request.
Do the state's demolition checklist and recipient apply automatically?
No. The reviewed commission guide is written for state-owned buildings and includes state-project instructions. Cumberland's local official must provide the municipal project requirements.
How do I apply?
Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab. Check the legal applicant, local recipient, accepted form, amount and dates. Issuance and filing come later; the building official must still approve the permit before the work proceeds.
