Once licensed, movers are expected to follow all regulations pursuant to Chapter 10 of the Rockwall, Texas Municode. An omission to do so may lead to license penalties and/or a claim on your Moving Contractor Bond.

The main purpose of the Moving Contractor Bond is to protect the City of Rockwall and its residents from financial harm. Moving a building from one location to another is quite a task and a lot can go wrong if not performed correctly. One of the conditions of the mover’s license is that any damage that occurs during the process must be fixed by the mover. So even if only a sidewalk is slightly damaged during the move, the contractor will be expected to either repair the damages themselves or pay for reconstruction. Failure to fulfill this obligation is a license violation and the Building Inspections Department has the right to file a claim on the contractor’s bond to cover their financial losses. 

As for renewing your Moving Contractor Bond, the Jet team has created a quick and easy renewal process!

If you are a part of Jet’s monthly payment plan, you won’t have to worry about renewing. Your bond will remain active as long as continuous payments are made. 

For bondholders that chose to pay for the surety bond in full and upfront, Jet will send you a renewal invoice prior to your official expiration date. Just complete the standard payment due and you’ll be all set with the City of Rockwall for another year.
