What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Garland, TX requires anyone who moves a structure over, into, or out of the city on a public street to first secure a moving permit from the Building Official — and Article VII of the building-inspection chapter conditions that permit on a $1,000 bond.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Garland (the obligee), with anyone whose property is damaged during the move protected. If the move damages a street, sidewalk, utility line, or other public or private property, a claimant can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Housemovers who route and rig a job carefully treat the $1,000 bond as a filing formality, not a risk. We issue it for $100 flat, with no credit review.
