What it is and who needs it.
What the house moving bond actually covers
Hancock County, Indiana requires a surety bond as a condition of a house (structure) moving permit — moving a building over County roads is heavy, slow, and hard on pavement, signs, and overhead lines, so the County wants a financial backstop.
The bond guarantees you'll restore any County road, sign, signal, or right-of-way you damage during the move and follow the conditions on the permit. The County sets the bond amount based on the move and the roads crossed; the premium scales with that figure, starting from $100.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Hancock County (the obligee). If the move damages County property and you don't repair it, the County can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
