(1) Certificate. The owner of the building to be moved shall file with the application sufficient evidence from the County Treasurer that all taxes have been paid thereon, and that there is no unpaid bonded indebtedness existing against the property. The bonded indebtedness shall be determined as an amount that bears the same proportion to the total outstanding bonded indebtedness of the municipality, if the municipality has such bonded indebtedness, as the assessed valuation for the preceding calendar year of the building sought to be removed bears to the total assessed valuation of all taxable property in the municipality for the preceding calendar year, or if the school district has any outstanding bonded indebtedness, an amount which is a similar proportion of the assessed valuation of such building sought to be removed bears to the total outstanding bonded indebtedness of such school district, or both such amounts as the case may be.
(2) Certificate of ownership. The applicant, if other than the owner, shall file with the application a written statement or bill of sale signed by the owner, or other sufficient evidence that he or she is entitled to move the building.
(3) Liability policy. The applicant shall file with the application a certificate of insurance providing coverage for both personal injury or property damage which might occur during the moving of said building. The minimum amount of coverage allowable shall be $250,000 property damage coverage, and $250,000 personal injury coverage. The City Council may require coverage in greater amounts if it deems it to be necessary.
(C) The application shall be accompanied by permit fee in the amount of 10% of the appraised value of the structure being moved if the structure is being moved outside the city limits, which may be refunded by the city if another structure of equal or greater value is placed or erected on the property. Fees so collected shall be credited to the General Fund.
