The City of Anamosa requires a $5,000 bond as a condition of its house / building mover permit — ours is $275 flat, the minimum premium, because 3% of $5,000 is below it. The application is five minutes, and small permit bonds like this are the fastest thing we issue.
















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 check section.
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.
$5,000 bond × 3% = $150, which rounds up to our $275 minimum. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
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 check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
