Kansas City KS Building Mover Bond
What it is & who requires it
House and building movers operating in Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas. The sum here is far larger than the building-mover bonds required by neighboring Kansas cities, which is worth confirming with the office before pricing a job rather than assuming the familiar figure applies. Structure moving is one of the few construction activities the Unified Government bonds that Johnson County does not license at all, so a mover working the metropolitan area deals with each city separately rather than through a county credential.

Term & renewal
Term: Given to the unified government as a precondition to moving a building, and held against damage arising from the move.
Renewal: Held as a standing filing rather than posted per move.
Filing
Given to the unified government before the work may begin. The ordinance states a fixed sum and offers no cash or deposit alternative, but it also does not name a surety company in terms — it says only that bond must be given — so the surety character of the instrument comes from the absence of any competing form rather than from express words. Confirm the current sum and the accepted form with the office when filing. This is not on the common carrier lists for the jurisdiction, so a mover relying on an aggregator listing is likely to arrive unaware of it.
