What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Grand Prairie, TX licenses housemovers under Code of Ordinances § 7-12. No person may move a building over or along a city street without an annual housemover license, and the city will not grant that license until the applicant files a $1,000 bond, approved by the governing body.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Grand Prairie (the obligee), with the city and anyone whose property is damaged during a move protected. The ordinance specifically conditions the bond on indemnifying the city and covering damage to trees, pavement, streets, sidewalks, awnings, wires, or poles caused by the move.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Housemovers who route a job carefully treat the $1,000 bond as a licensing formality, not a risk. We issue it for $100 flat, with no credit review.
