Broomfield Building Moving Bond
What it is & who requires it
House and building movers in Broomfield. It is unlawful to move any building or house or part of one along a Broomfield street without a permit from the city engineer or the building official, and the bond is filed before the permit issues. The obligation is broader than the move itself: the city engineer or building official directs and supervises the move, and the mover must forthwith repair any injury done to any sidewalk, alley, street, tree, utility pole, wire or other property — the bond answers for exactly that, and for indemnifying the City against damages or claims brought by anyone by reason of the work.

Filing
Filed in favor of the City and County of Broomfield before the house or building moving permit issues. The figure is published here because the code names the instrument — a surety bond, good for one year — states the penal sum, and offers no cash deposit or letter of credit in its place. The permit designates what may be moved and when, and requires compliance with all local and state safety regulations. Note that Broomfield is a consolidated city and county, so this single permit covers what would be two jurisdictions elsewhere on the Front Range. Authority: Broomfield Municipal Code § 12-24-040.
