Clive House Mover Bond
What it is & who requires it
Contractors moving a building or structure in Clive. The bond is posted with the Community Development Department rather than the clerk, which is a small difference from the neighboring cities running the same ordinance and worth knowing before you send paperwork to the wrong counter. It guarantees the permittee’s payment for any damage done to the city or to public property and the costs the city incurs in the course of the move. No figure renders because the ordinance fixes a minimum rather than an amount, so the department can ask for more; this is the same sentence West Des Moines uses, with one word added, and that word is the whole difference.
Obligee: City of Clive (Community Development Department). Citation: Clive City Code § 4-5-4 (Bond required), Title 4 (Business and License Regulations) ch. 5 (House Movers); § 4-5-10 (Removal by city).
