What this bond does

Jacksonville's published demolition packet names the City of Jacksonville, Alabama as the bond recipient. Its conditions address demolition, cleanup, utility protection, and immediate correction of damage to rights-of-way.

Who needs it
The property owner or authorized agent arranging a Jacksonville demolition permit and the bond requested for that removal.
Who it protects
The bond secures the undertaking made to the city. The published packet also includes an obligation to hold the city harmless for specified damages arising from the demolition work.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

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.

More than a street opening

Use the building to be demolished as the project reference. The published form addresses removal of the building and debris, filling holes, leveling the property, utility disconnection or protection, and correction of right-of-way damage.

The packet includes conditions for retaining a safe foundation with the Building Inspector's permission. Follow the city's directions for your demolition plan and completion schedule rather than assuming the bond authorizes leaving a foundation in place.

Use the demolition packet to prepare the amount

Section III of the published ordinance states a bond amount of $1,000 for each 1,000 square feet, or part thereof, of floor space. It also states that surety is not required on a bond below $3,000. Have the city confirm the amount and whether a surety bond is required for your structure.

The form has beginning and termination date fields and says continuation certificates will not be accepted for renewal. The offering here has no fixed amount or term displayed; enter the details for the city's actual request.

Apply, then file the issued bond

Purchase Now opens the Propeller application in a new tab. Have the applicant's legal name, building address, requested amount, and effective dates ready. An executed bond is a later document, not something you must obtain before starting this application.

The published form calls for the duly executed original to be filed with the Jacksonville City Clerk. After issuance, follow the city's execution and filing instructions. The Building Inspector's permit approval remains separate from the bond purchase.
