No person shall move any building or structure from within the city to outside the city limits without first securing a permit from the City Engineer so to do. The City Engineer is authorized and directed to issue permits for the moving of buildings or structures outside the city limits subject to the condition that an applicant for such a permit produces evidence of insurance coverage, in an amount determined to be adequate by the City Engineer, to protect the applicant and the city, and its elected officers, boards, commissions, and employees, from any claim for injuries to persons or for damage to property arising out of the moving of any such building, and that the applicant delivers to the City Engineer a bond or cash deposit in such amount as may be deemed necessary by the City Engineer to guarantee payment to the city for any damage which the applicant may cause to any public property, streets, sidewalks, trees, shrubs, or other objects arising out of the movement of any such building. Such insurance or deposit may be submitted by the applicant or by a licensed house mover hired by the applicant and in such form to adequately provide the protection required by this section, even though the coverage or deposit is not in the exact form as stated in this section.
