Tulsa Demolition Bond
What it is & who requires it
Contractors demolishing a building or structure, or any portion of one, in Tulsa. What this bond protects is the neighbors rather than the city: the ordinance frames it as protecting owners adjacent to a permitted demolition from damage. No figure is published here because the code states the amount as a minimum, so a larger sum can be required on a job where the adjacent exposure warrants it — ask before pricing. Budget for the sewer plug permit as well, which the same title requires alongside the demolition permit and charges separately.
Obligee: City of Tulsa. Citation: Tulsa Revised Ordinances, Title 49 § 314 (Demolition fee and bond) — permit fee and the minimum bond for protecting adjacent owners; Title 49 ch. 13 § 1302 (sewer plug permit fees).

Term & renewal
Term: Held against damage to owners adjacent to the permitted demolition.
Renewal: Per permit.
Filing
Filed with the demolition permit. The figure in the ordinance is expressly a minimum rather than a penal sum, which is why no amount renders on this record; where a code sets a floor, the published number is the starting point rather than the price. Confirm the required amount with the permit office for the particular structure and its neighbors.
