Emporia House Mover Bond
What it is & who requires it
Building movers taking an Emporia permit. Two costs sit outside the bond and both are easy to miss. The permit fee does not include the charge for the required police escort, and starting the move before the permit is obtained raises the permit fee to a flat penalty figure. Public liability insurance at the city’s stated limits is a separate prerequisite under § 24-104 and is required in addition to the bond, not instead of it — the section says so in terms.

Term & renewal
Term: Executed and delivered before the permit issues.
Renewal: Per permit.
Filing
Executed and delivered to the city before the permit issues, as a good and sufficient bond in a stated sum. No cash or deposit alternative appears; the section does not name a surety company expressly, so the instrument reads as a surety bond because nothing else is offered. The insurance section is explicit that its policy is filed in addition to the required bond, which is useful confirmation that the two are cumulative rather than alternative — where a Kansas code offers insurance as a substitute, as Wichita does for sidewalk cleaning, no figure can publish.
