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 check.

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 $1,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Building Official. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your Garland structure-moving permit application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $1,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
