Building Mover ($5,000) Bond - Cordele, GA in Georgia

The city's Community Development office states that a city permit is required before moving a house, and the bond guarantees to the City of Cordele that the mover will carry out the move under the city's ordinances and permit conditions, up to the bond amount.

Detailed Information About the Georgia Building Mover ($5,000) Bond:

Permit before the move, bond before the permit

Cordele Community Development states plainly that a city permit is required before moving a house. The building mover bond is the contractor's financial guarantee to the City of Cordele that the move will be carried out under the city's rules. If the mover breaks those rules and the city suffers a loss, the city can claim against the bond up to $5,000. The surety pays a valid claim and the mover repays the surety.

Who posts it

The company or individual doing the moving posts the bond. A homeowner relocating a house hires the mover, and the mover carries the bond. Cordele also requires building permits before work starts at the new site, and separate permits for electrical, mechanical and water hookups when a home is set up.

Before you apply

Confirm the current bond form, any route or utility coordination the city requires, and the filing steps with Cordele Community Development before the bond is issued.
