About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A City of Tulsa house mover bond is a public-property-protection guarantee. Moving a structure over city streets risks damage to pavement, curbs, traffic signals, trees, and overhead utilities — the city wants a financial backstop that you repair any damage your move causes.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Tulsa (the obligee). If your move damages city property or violates the house-moving ordinance, the city can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Movers who route carefully and restore what they disturb 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 City of Tulsa house mover bond? +
The premium is $300 — a flat 3% of the $10,000 bond amount, the same for every mover. The $10,000 is set by the city, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $10,000? +
No. You pay $300. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond? +
City license bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many movers finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount city license bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active while your Tulsa house mover permit is active. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available.
