What is this bond?

The Athens-Clarke County Building Relocation Bond is a specialized surety bond required when moving physical structures across public rights-of-way. It guarantees that the principal will safely relocate the building and properly repair any damage caused to public property, such as roads, sidewalks, or utilities. This bond provides a financial safeguard to ensure the relocation is completed without leaving a public nuisance or hazards.

Who needs it?

House movers, general contractors, and property owners planning to transport an existing building within or through Athens-Clarke County, Georgia, typically need this bond. The county generally requires it before they will issue a formal building relocation or moving permit. Anyone coordinating the transit of an oversized structure over county roads should verify their specific bonding needs with the local government.

Why is it required?

Athens-Clarke County requires this bond to protect public infrastructure from the substantial risks and potential damage caused by transporting heavy structural loads. It guarantees that if public property is damaged or a project is abandoned mid-transit, funds are available for necessary repairs and cleanup. Ultimately, it ensures that the building relocation does not become an unexpected financial burden on the county and its taxpayers.
