What it is and who needs it.
What the contractor bond actually covers
The Town of Burns Harbor registers the contractors who do construction work within town limits, and conditions that registration on a contractor license bond. The bond guarantees you'll work to the town's adopted building codes and follow the terms of the permits you pull.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Burns Harbor (the obligee). If you do work that violates the town code or leave a job in a way that harms the public or property, the town can recover against the bond.
The bond carries a statutory January 31 renewal, so the town's contractor registrations expire on a common date. Whatever amount the town sets — typically $10,000 — we price it from $100, with no credit check up to $10,000 in the application.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The bond runs to January 31 whatever day you buy; the premium covers the period to that date.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, January 31, in the year your term ends.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it

What sets the price
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $10,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
