The City of Cedar Hill requires a $5,000 house mover bond from contractors moving buildings or structures through the city. Our carrier's rate book prices this bond at a flat $100 — and permit bonds like this issue instantly.
















Permit 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 section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Permit 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 so your house moving permit can issue. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A City of Cedar Hill house mover bond is a property-protection guarantee to the city. Moving a building through city streets means oversized loads near signals, signs, pavement, and overhead lines — the City wants a financial backstop for any damage to public property along the route.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Cedar Hill (the obligee). If a mover damages city streets, signals, or other property and fails to make it right, 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 plan their route and protect city property treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this application doesn't collect credit information.
