Casper Building Moving Bond
What it is & who requires it
Anyone moving a garage, house or other structure of similar size on or over a Casper street, alley or other city property. The city requires the permit first, and the bond is approved by the mayor or city council rather than by staff. You also supply assurance that you have adequate machinery, appliances and equipment for the move, and a separate cash deposit that the city holds against the cost of cutting and reuniting wires and moving and replacing poles. The permit specifies the route. Note the doubling rule: starting work before the permit issues doubles the fees without excusing compliance.
Obligee: City of Casper (Mayor and City Council; City Engineer). Citation: Casper Municipal Code Ch. 15.44 (Moving buildings — permit, bond and deposit); §§ 15.44.010, 15.44.030, 15.44.040; prior codes §§ 7-11, 7-14.

Term & renewal
Term: Held against the move it covers, as protection to persons and property against damage by the moving operations.
Renewal: Filed per move, with the moving permit application; the city engineer issues the permit once the bond is approved, the deposit is made and the permit fee is paid.
Filing
Filed with the City of Casper with your building-moving permit application. The ordinance states the sum outright and offers no cash deposit or other security in its place, which is why the figure is published here. Do not confuse the cash deposit the same section requires with an alternative to the bond — it is an additional, much smaller deposit held against wire and pole charges, and it is required alongside the bond rather than instead of it. Approval sits with the mayor or city council, so allow time. The permit issues only once the bond is approved, the deposit is made and the fee is paid, and the permit names the route your structure must travel. Authority: Casper Municipal Code Ch. 15.44.
