Detailed Information About the Mississippi House Moving Contractor ($5,000) Bond:

The bond protects the city, and it is not the move permit

The most common misunderstanding is treating this bond as permission to move a structure. It is not. The bond is a financial guarantee to the City of Madison that you will follow its ordinances and the terms of whatever permits the job requires. Any permit for the move itself, and any permit at the destination lot, is a separate request to the city.

The destination lot has its own rules

Madison requires a building permit before a renovation, addition or accessory structure begins, and also for a ready to install structure such as a storage shed. If a structure is being set on a lot inside the city, ask the Building & Permits Department what permits and inspections the placement needs. All construction in the city must comply with the adopted building, plumbing, gas, mechanical and national electric codes.

How the bond works

You are the principal, a surety company backs you, and the City of Madison is the obligee. If the city has a valid claim against you under the bond, the surety pays up to $5,000 and you repay the surety. The amount on this listing is a flat $5,000.

Before the bond is issued

Contact the Building & Permits Department at (601) 856-6336 or permits@madisonthecity.com. City Hall is at 120 Montgomery Street, Madison, MS 39110. Confirm the bond form, the exact obligee wording and the filing steps before the surety signs the bond.
