What it is and who needs it.
What the Waterloo building mover bond guarantees
The City of Waterloo conditions a building mover license on a $10,000 surety bond. Moving a structure through public streets puts pavement, signals, trees, and overhead lines at risk — so the city wants a financial backstop standing behind the move.
The bond runs to the City of Waterloo as obligee and guarantees that you repair any damage to streets and public property caused by the move and follow the conditions of your permit. If a mover cracks pavement, takes down a line, or leaves debris and fails to make it right, the city can recover its cost against the bond.
It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. Movers who do clean work treat it as a license formality. We track the filing and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $10,000 bond continuous.
