The City of Tulsa requires house movers to file a $10,000 surety bond as a condition of moving structures over city streets. Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount, identical for every mover. The application is five minutes, and city license bonds like this are the fastest thing we issue.
















City license bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here is the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That is the application — no financials, no credit check section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
City license bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the City of Tulsa for your house mover permit. 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.
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.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond does not have one.
