McPherson Demolition and Wrecking Bond
What it is & who requires it
Anyone taking a permit to wreck, dismantle or tear down a house, building or other structure in McPherson. Note who the code addresses: the section requires the filing of the owner, so on a demolition job the paperwork may sit with the property owner rather than with the demolition contractor, and that should be settled before the permit is applied for. The code scales the requirement by what is being demolished, with one level for residence dwelling houses and small structures and a higher one above that. No figure is published here because the ordinance sends the amount to a resolution and states its own numbers as minimums.
Obligee: City of McPherson (City Clerk; Governing Body). Citation: McPherson City Code § 18-1013 (Bond — wrecking, dismantling or demolition permits); § 18-1012 (permit fees by floor area); Code 1995, §§ 4-1501—4-1503.

Term & renewal
Term: Filed before the wrecking permit issues.
Renewal: Per permit.
Filing
Filed with the city clerk before the permit issues. Two independent reasons no figure renders: the amount is to be fixed by resolution of the governing body, and the numbers written into the section are expressly minimums rather than penal sums. Ask the clerk for the current resolution rather than working from the code text. Permit fees are charged separately on floor area, so the bond and the fee are different calculations from different inputs.
