If you are a licensed contractor that has been hired to perform the demolition of a wood, metal, or brick building/structure within the City of Greenville, Texas, you must first apply for a demolition permit with the Community Development Department. To be approved for such, a Demolition Permit Bond will be required of the applicant.
According to the Greenville Community Development Department, the custom bond limit for the Demolition Bond is determined by the local Building Official. Bond limits are typically based on the estimated cost of the project or the cost of cleaning up the construction area to its original condition.
If you are seeking up to a $10,000 limit for the Demolition Permit Bond, you may purchase the bond from Jet for the guaranteed price of $100 for a one-year term. We provide this surety bond as an instant issue which means no credit check is needed up to a certain bond limit ($25k). All you need to do is select the “Secure Your Bond” button above to get started. Larger bond limits will require a credit check to determine eligibility and rate.
Bond Limit | Cost |
---|---|
$10,000 | $100 |
$25,000 | $125 |
$50,000 | $250 |
The original signed and sealed Demolition Permit Bond, along with your completed Demolition Permit Application, must be submitted to the Greenville Community Development Department at the following mailing address:
City of Greenville

2315 Johnson St.
Greenville, TX 75401
The main purpose of the Demolition Permit Bond is to financially ensure that the contractor will follow all demolition permit regulations, as well as fulfill any contractual obligations agreed upon with the client. For example, the contractor is expected by the City of Greenville to clear the property and remove/dispose of all waste materials once the demolition of the structure has been completed. In cases where the contractor fails to hold up these requirements, the damaged client may file a claim on the contractor’s bond to cover the cost of losses incurred and the cost of hiring a new contractor to complete the demolition within the standards of the permit.
The demolition permit and the surety bond are good for one year. If your project somehow goes beyond this timeline, you will need to extend your permit and renew the Demolition Permit Bond.
If need be the Jet team will send you a renewal invoice for your bond prior to its official expiration date by mail and email.
