What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of River Oaks, TX requires a bond from anyone moving a building or house over its public streets. Moving a structure means oversize loads, lifted utility lines, and pavement stress — the bond is a public-protection guarantee that you will not leave the city or a resident holding the cost of any damage.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of River Oaks (the obligee), with residents and the city protected. If a move damages a street, a sign, a traffic signal, or a utility line and you do not make it right, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Movers who clean up after the job treat the $5,000 bond as a permit formality, not a risk. We issue it for $100 flat, with no credit check on the application.

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 $5,000 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.
