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, pricing at 2% of the bond amount with a $100 minimum, plus a quick soft credit check. 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.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
