The City of Anamosa requires a $5,000 bond as a condition of its house / building mover permit — ours is $100 flat, issued instantly. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















Municipal mover bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit section at all.
Small fixed-amount permit bonds like this issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your Anamosa house mover permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A house mover bond is a public-property guarantee. Moving a house through Anamosa means routing an oversized load over City streets, curbs, signs, and overhead lines — the City wants a financial backstop that any damage along the route gets repaired.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Anamosa (the obligee). If your move damages streets, traffic signals, or other public property, the City can recover the repair cost against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the term of your permit. Let it lapse and the City can pull your mover permit — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $5,000 filing continuous.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this bond doesn't have one.
