To get a permit to tow or haul a long or wide load through the City of Lumpkin, Georgia, the city requires a $5,000 surety bond alongside the permit application — ours is $100 flat, and the price you see is the checkout price. The application collects no credit information.
















A city towing/hauling permit bond is about the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no lengthy underwriting file.
Bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your towing/hauling permit application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
Towing or hauling an oversize load through a small city is hard on streets, bridges, curbs, and overhead or buried utility lines. The City of Lumpkin conditions its permit for towing or hauling long and wide loads on a $5,000 surety bond, so the permit holder carries a financial backstop for the move.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Lumpkin (the obligee), with the city's infrastructure and the traveling public as the protected interests. If your move damages a road, bridge, or utility line, or causes an accident the permit terms make you responsible for, a claim can be brought against the bond up to the $5,000 penal sum.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Most haulers treat the bond as a routine part of pulling the permit before a single oversize move or a season of them.
These are the actual issuing fields for this bond — a short business application, no lengthy credit file.
