The City of Midland requires house movers to post a $1,000 bond as a condition of their city license. The price is our fixed $100 — set by our carrier for this bond, the same for every mover. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















License bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here is the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That is the application — no financials, no credit section.
License 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 for your house mover license. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The City of Midland licenses house movers and conditions the license on a $1,000 surety bond. Moving a structure through city streets can damage pavement, signs, traffic signals, and overhead lines — the bond is a public-property guarantee standing behind any damage the move causes.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Midland (the obligee). If a mover damages city streets or property and does not 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 routes and protect city property treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this bond does not have one.
