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 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
