Florida — Household Moving Services Performance Bond
Florida's $50,000 household moving-services performance bond has different roles for movers and moving brokers. Under the 2026 statute, a mover operating two or fewer vehicles may use it as an alternative to the specified goods-loss liability coverage. A moving broker must maintain the bond or the permitted certificate of deposit. Match your actual FDACS registration role before applying.

What this bond does
Provide the Chapter 507 security for the applicable mover or moving-broker registration. The bond supports specified consumer injury claims through the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
- Who needs it
- Intrastate moving brokers meeting the statutory security requirement, and eligible movers operating two or fewer vehicles choosing the bond alternative. It is not a universal substitute for every mover's insurance or other registration requirements.
- Who it protects
- FDACS is the sole beneficiary for consumers injured by fraud, misrepresentation, breach of contract, misfeasance, malfeasance, financial failure or a Chapter 507 violation. Liability may be determined administratively or in court, but bond claims are paid only by departmental order in an administrative proceeding. Successive claims share the $50,000 aggregate.

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.

Questions about this bond
Does a mover operating exactly two vehicles qualify for the alternative?
The 2026 statute says two or fewer vehicles. Use the actual operated fleet and FDACS determination. The alternative concerns the specified goods-loss liability coverage, not the separate motor-vehicle insurance requirement.
Does a court judgment alone authorize a bond payout?
The statute permits liability to be determined in court or a departmental proceeding, but payment against the bond requires FDACS's order in an administrative proceeding. Payments cannot exceed determined liability, and successive claims share the bond's $50,000 aggregate.
