About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the building moving bond actually covers

Moving a building over public streets is heavy, slow work that can damage pavement, curbs, trees, signals, and utility lines along the route. The City of Nichols Hills conditions a building moving permit on a surety bond — a damage-and-compliance guarantee standing behind your move through the City.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Nichols Hills (the obligee). If the move damages City streets, traffic devices, trees, or utility infrastructure, the City can recover against the bond to make repairs.

We issue the amount the City sets, at a flat 3% with one soft credit pull. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Movers who plan their routes and protect City infrastructure treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Nichols Hills building moving permit bond? +
A flat 3% of the bond amount the City sets, with a $275 minimum. Enter the amount on your permit and the premium updates — a soft credit pull affects approval, never the price.
Who sets the bond amount? +
The City of Nichols Hills sets it on your building moving permit. Enter that figure on the application; if you're not sure, send us the permit and we'll confirm.
Do I pay the full bond amount? +
No. You pay the 3% premium ($275 minimum). The bond amount is the surety's maximum liability to the City — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Is there a credit check? +
Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. It informs approval, not price. The rate is a flat 3% either way.
How is this different from the registration bond? +
This is the City's per-permit building moving bond, sized to the move. Building movers also register with the City under a separate $10,000 contractor bond — we can issue both.
