About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Burbank licenses businesses that move buildings or other structures within the City, and conditions that license on a $2,000 surety bond. The bond stands behind a mover's compliance with the City's permit conditions for a move — street use, timing, and restoration of any public way disturbed in the process.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Burbank (the obligee), with the City and the public as the protected parties. If a licensed mover's operation damages a public street or structure the City's licensing requirement is meant to guard against, a harmed party can recover against the bond up to the $2,000 penal sum.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for the life of your building mover license, so we track it and notify you before renewal.

City of Burbank Building DepartmentBurbank's building mover bond is administered by the City's Building Department as a condition of a building mover license and moving permit, rather than under a municipal code section we could independently verify from a fetchable source. Confirm the current bond amount and permit conditions directly with the Building Department before you apply.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Burbank building mover bond?The premium is $100 flat — set by our carrier's rate book for this bond, the same for every licensee. The $2,000 bond amount is set by the City's licensing requirement, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $2,000?No. You pay $100. The $2,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond?License bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many businesses finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information, so most applicants approve instantly. If a check ever runs on this bond, it's a soft pull that won't affect your score.
Does this cover damage to the structure being moved?No — the bond backs your compliance with Burbank's licensing and permit conditions for the move, not the condition of the structure itself. Cargo or rigger's liability coverage for the structure is separate.
