Demolition Contractor ($25,000) Bond - City of Cibolo, TX in Texas

Brief Summary

A demolition job in Cibolo starts with contractor registration, not the permit. Have the $25,000 bond issued before you open the MGO Connect account and nothing on your side holds up the Building Department's review. Most bonds at this size are quoted and issued the same day.

Demolition contractors working inside the City of Cibolo post a $25,000 surety bond in favor of the City of Cibolo. The City requires every contractor to register with its Building Department before applying for any permit, so the bond should be in hand before registration starts. It protects the city if a demolition job is left unfinished or damages public property.

Detailed Information About the Texas Demolition Contractor ($25,000) Bond:

Registration comes before the permit

The most common mistake is trying to pull a demolition permit first. The City of Cibolo states that all contractors performing work within the city must register with the City before applying for permits. Registration runs through MGO Connect, the city's permitting portal. You create an account, verify a phone number, choose your contractor type, and upload your license number, insurance certificates and contact details. The Building Department then reviews and approves the registration. Have the $25,000 demolition contractor bond issued before you start, and ask the department whether it is uploaded with the registration or delivered to the office.

What the bond guarantees

The City of Cibolo is the obligee. The bond is a promise from you and your surety that demolition work in the city will be done in compliance with the city's codes and the terms of your permits. If a structure is left partly down, debris is not cleared, or streets, utilities or other public property are damaged and not repaired, the city can make a claim against the bond up to $25,000. The surety pays a valid claim and then looks to you, the contractor, for repayment. It is a guarantee for the city, not insurance for your company.

Who posts it

The principal on the bond is the contractor that will hold the Cibolo demolition permit. The business name on the bond should match your MGO Connect registration exactly. A general contractor that brings in a demolition subcontractor should confirm with the Building Department which company the city expects to register and bond for that scope.

How premium is set

You pay an annual premium, not the $25,000 face amount. The surety prices it from the owner's personal credit, time in business and claims history. Stronger files pay less.

Before the bond is issued
