Detailed Information About the Florida Trailer Placement Permit ($1,000) Bond:

The bond follows the permit holder, not the trailer

The most common mistake on this bond is a name mismatch. The principal on the bond must be the same person or company that applies for the Trailer Placement Permit, spelled exactly as it appears on the permit application. A bond written in the name of the trailer owner, a hauler or a relative will not be accepted if someone else is the applicant.

What the bond guarantees

The $1,000 bond names Martin County as obligee. If the permit holder fails to meet the conditions attached to the placement permit, the County can make a claim against the bond to recover its costs. The surety pays a valid claim and then looks to the permit holder for repayment, so the bond protects the County, not the person who buys it.

Filing it

The bond is delivered to the County with, or before, the permit is issued. Requirements for trailer placement can depend on the zoning of the parcel and the purpose of the trailer, so ask the Martin County Building Department which bond form it uses and whether it wants the original signed bond or a copy before you order. Martin County also has separate checklists for new and replacement mobile homes, which are a different permit type.
