Which trade needs which bond

Lakeland bonds general contractors along with two specialty trades that can affect streets and neighboring property: demolition contractors and house movers. A company that moves a structure through the city files the house mover bond, and a company that tears down buildings files the demolition bond.

What the bond does

The bond is written to the City of Lakeland. It protects the public and the city if a contractor breaks city rules and causes damage or a loss. The contractor repays the surety for any claim it pays.

How to apply
