About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of San Antonio requires a $2,000 surety bond of moving contractors — businesses that move buildings or structures through and within the city. The bond is a public-protection guarantee that you operate within the city's rules and don't leave damage behind.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of San Antonio (the obligee), with the public and your customers protected. If a moving contractor violates the local ordinance, damages city property, or harms a customer in the course of the work, the harmed party can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for as long as the city requires it, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out.

City of San Antonio — Moving Contractor registrationThe City of San Antonio requires a $2,000 surety bond as a condition of operating as a building / house-moving contractor in the city, to protect the city and its residents against losses from violations of local ordinances or negligence during moving operations.

Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information — there's no credit section to fill out. Most applications like this approve instantly.
