Roeland Park Building Mover Bond
What it is & who requires it
Anyone moving a building or structure of 100 square feet or more upon, across or over a Roeland Park highway, street, alley or sidewalk. Expect two bonds rather than one on a relocation within the city: a damage bond at the stated sum covering injury to public or private property caused by the mover, its agents, employees, workmen, contractors or subcontractors, and a separate relocation bond sized to the estimated cost of removal and reconstruction on the new foundation. The second one is conditioned on final completion and inspection within six months of the permit date, so a stalled relocation is a live claim rather than a scheduling problem. The application also runs on a seven-day clock and requires written notice to adjacent owners and to utility owners whose facilities are affected.
Obligee: City of Roeland Park (Building Official; City Attorney). Citation: Roeland Park Municipal Code § 4-1704 (Bonds Required; Liability; Surety); § 4-1703 (moving permits; application); § 4-1705 (duties of the building official); Ord. No. 477; Ord. No. 1061.

Term & renewal
Term: Executed in favor of the city at the time of the permit application; the relocation bond under limb (b) is conditioned on final completion and inspection within six months.
Renewal: Per permit.
Filing
Executed in favor of the city, in a form approved by the city attorney, at the time of the permit application. No figure is published on this record: the damage bond at limb (a) is required to be given with good and sufficient security rather than by a named surety, and the relocation bond at limb (b) carries no sum because the ordinance sets it by reference to the estimated cost of removal and reconstruction stated in the permit, which is a per-job number. Limb (a) requires the bond to be given with good and sufficient security rather than naming a surety company in terms, though the section is captioned for surety and limb (b) names a surety bond expressly — confirm the accepted form with the building official. A certificate of liability insurance is required alongside, and the applicant must show the structure and the originating lot are free of entanglements with taxes and city charges paid.
