The City of Nichols Hills requires a $10,000 bond to register as a building mover or demolition contractor. Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount, the same for every contractor. The application is five minutes.
















Registration 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, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Registration bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your Nichols Hills building mover / demolition registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
Building movers and demolition contractors work heavy equipment through City streets and leave sites that have to be cleared and restored. The City of Nichols Hills conditions registration in these trades on a $10,000 surety bond — a damage-cleanup-and-compliance guarantee standing behind your work in the City.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Nichols Hills (the obligee). If a move or demolition damages City streets or property, leaves debris, or fails to restore the site, the City can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who protect City infrastructure and clear their sites treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
