Bay County, MI — Highway Permit - Building Moving Bond

Moving a building over a Bay County road requires a different permit review from constructing a driveway or installing a utility. Give the Bay County Road Commission the actual transporter, building dimensions and route, and have its permit agent identify the security for the move before buying.

What this bond does

Security specifically requested by the Bay County Road Commission, Michigan for the authorized building move, with the accepted instrument confirmed.

Who needs it
The business or individual actually transporting the building, rather than automatically its owner or the contractor preparing the destination site.
Who it protects
The accepted move instrument concerns the specified road use and damage obligations. It should not be represented as a construction-completion guarantee for the relocated building.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Identify the actual mover and route

The Commission's selected movement guidelines say permits are issued to the entity actually doing the transporting, using vehicles it owns or operates under a genuine lease or rental arrangement. Describe the load, vehicles, proposed route and dates; a building move is not simply ordinary right-of-way excavation.

The building/special-load provisions address safe loading and required removal of building attachments. They also require Commission approval before removing or trimming roadside trees or plants. Coordinate overhead clearance, route conditions and other required approvals with the permit agent; the bond does not establish that the route is passable.

Confirm move security rather than borrowing construction terms

The selected movement rules allow additional security but do not establish a universal building-moving bond sum. The Commission separately publishes a Bond for Work in the Rights-of-Way. Ask whether that form or a different instrument meets your building-move request; do not assign construction or another county's transportation-bond amount to this option.

Purchase Now opens Propeller. The option displays no fixed amount or term. Give the issuer the Commission's actual move-security request, form, mover/principal, Board recipient, assigned sum and dates. Arrange execution and the Commission's accepted filing before relying on the issued security.

The current permit page requires Oxcart applications and does not accept paper, emailed or faxed permit applications, even though the older selected movement sheet describes those methods. Obtain the actual approved move permit, separate insurance and any route/escort conditions. Ask the Commission how road-condition inspection and release work for this move; purchase alone authorizes no transport.

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.
