- Who needs it

Questions about this bond
Should the building owner always be the permit applicant?
The selected movement rules identify the entity actually transporting the load. Have the permit agent confirm the applicant and bond principal for your move.
Is the construction bond amount also the moving-bond amount?
That is not established. The Commission must identify the accepted instrument and assigned amount for the particular building move.
Does buying the bond approve my route?
No. Obtain the Commission's move permit and applicable route, clearance, insurance and escort conditions separately.
