About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the building-moving bond actually covers

Moving a building over a public road in Bay County means temporarily occupying and stressing the county right-of-way. The Bay County Road Commission issues a highway permit for the move and conditions it on a surety bond, so the public road and its facilities are protected if the move causes damage.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the Bay County Road Commission (the obligee). If the move damages pavement, signs, or other right-of-way facilities and you do not repair them, the Commission can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Movers who restore the right-of-way and follow the permit conditions treat the bond as a permit formality. We issue the amount the Commission set, at a flat 3% with no credit check.
