Building construction — See Ch. 140.
No person shall move any building into or within the City without a
permit from the Building Inspector upon 30 days' notice.
Application for a permit shall be made on a form provided by the Clerk-Treasurer.
The permit fee shall be as stated in the City of Waterloo Fee Schedule.[1]

Editor's Note: The Fee Schedule is on file at the office
of the City Clerk-Treasurer.
Before a permit is issued, the mover must deposit with the Clerk-Treasurer
a corporate surety bond, approved by the City Attorney, in the amount of $10,000,
conditioned that the mover shall save the City harmless from any liability
arising out of the move and shall restore any street damaged by the move.
This provision may be waived by the Building Inspector for small buildings.
Before a moving permit shall be issued, the applicant shall submit to
the Clerk-Treasurer or the Director of Public Works a certificate of insurance
evidencing that the applicant has in force and will maintain during the term
of the permit public liability insurance of not less than $500,000 for any
one person, $1,000,000 for any one accident and $50,000 for property damage.
Prior to the issuance of said permit, the owner or mover shall certify
that he has notified all public utilities whose lines or poles may be interfered
with during the movement of the building. Such utilities shall take whatever
steps are necessary to permit the building to be moved without damage to their
lines and poles and may charge the permittee the cost thereof.
Once the move has commenced, the mover shall complete the move as soon
as conveniently may be.
Every permittee shall, within one day after reaching his destination,
report that fact to the Director of Public Works or the Clerk-Treasurer. The
Director shall thereupon inspect the streets and highways over which said
building has been moved and ascertain their condition. If the moving of said
building has caused any damage to the streets or highways, the building mover
shall forthwith place them in as good condition as they were before the permit
was granted. Upon failure of the building mover to do so within 10 days thereafter
to the satisfaction of the Director, the City shall repair the damage done
to such streets and highways and hold the sureties of the bond given by the
building mover responsible for the payment of the same.
