Williston Demolition and Lot Restoration Bond
What it is & who requires it
Contractors demolishing a building in Williston, and contractors moving a house or building where a lot restoration plan is required for the permit. In both cases the city requires the debris and concrete foundation to be removed and the basement filled, compacted and graded, and it secures the performance of that restoration rather than the demolition itself. A demolition permit from the city building official comes first.

Term & renewal
Term: Held as a guarantee that the alteration, improvement or restoration is completed within the time period set for the work.
Renewal: Posted per permit rather than annually; a time limit for completion is set with the permit, and separate limits may be set for interior and exterior work.
Filing
Posted with the Williston city building official. The figure is off this page for two independent reasons, either of which alone would keep it off. The amount is not fixed: the code sets a minimum and then leaves the operative sum to the city building official’s determination of what is sufficient for the particular job, so the stated minimum is a floor rather than the answer. And a surety bond is only one of the permitted forms — the ordinance allows the security to be cash, a cashier’s check, corporate surety or personal surety, which are co-equal routes to the same legal effect, and where personal surety is used the bond is approved by the board of city commissioners. What it guarantees is that the alteration, improvements or restoration are complied with in a manner sufficient to meet the article and completed within the time set.
