What is the San Diego Demolition Bond?

Before the conduct of any complete structure demolition/removal work that may affect a public property, the City of San Diego requires involved permittees to secure a demolition permit. A demolition bond is required to secure the permit. The bond guarantees that contractors or permittees will adhere to the City’s codes, deliver expected outcomes to quality, and strictly follow engineering standards.

 

Take note that the permit is not needed for partial demolitions, but is required for a Building Permit following Chapter 12, Article 9, Division 2 of the San Diego Municipal Code. No work shall ensue without securing the proper permits prior to the project. Authorized permits will expire within 120 working days if not completed. The city will approve one 60-day extension should a delay occur for reasons out of the permittee’s control.
