No structure larger than five hundred (500) square feet, excluding structures
registered as a vehicle by the State of Florida, shall be moved into the city or from one
place to another within the city unless such building or structure is made to conform to all
of the requirements of the city's adopted building code in effect in this city at the time of
the moving and the requirements of the zoning in which the building or structure is to be
place. The Community Development Director is authorized to require any person
applying for a permit to move a building or structure to show proof of a property damage
insurance policy in the amount of five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000.00) as well as a
liability insurance policy in the amount of one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) and may be
required to post a bond or other security acceptable to the city in an amount up to but not
exceeding ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) to be deposited with the city clerk, payable
to the order of the City of Sebastian.
The purpose of the bond or other security is to guarantee compliance in full within
one year with the applicable requirement of the city's adopted building code and of this
Land Development Code and to restore any public or private property damaged while the
building or structure is being moved. Failure to fully comply within one year as above
stated will result in forfeiture of the bond to the City of Sebastian, Florida.
All applicants for a permit to move an existing structure, as above stated, are
required to furnish the community development director with a proposed route for moving
the building through the city as well as five (5) sets of drawings, said drawings to be
prepared and sealed by an architect or engineer registered in the State of Florida certifying
that the structure meets all requirements as above outlined, or five (5) sets of drawings to
be prepared and sealed by an architect or engineer registered in the State of Florida
showing the proposed changes to the building or structure after it has been moved, that
will bring it within all applicable requirements of the city's adopted building code as well
as the city zoning ordinance. If drawings of the structure or building to be moved
showing compliance as above stated are on record with the city already, the above
requirement for drawings of the structure is waived. The Community Development
Director shall distribute the application and supporting information to the appropriate staff
for review and comment. The staff shall include outside agencies. Upon approval of the
