About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the contractor bond actually covers

The City of Carmel registers the contractors who do construction work within the city, and conditions that registration on a contractor license bond. The bond guarantees you'll work to Carmel's adopted building codes and follow the terms of the permits you pull through the Department of Community Services.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Carmel (the obligee). If you do work that violates the city code or leave a job in a way that harms the public or property, the city can recover against the bond.

Because Carmel sets the amount with your registration, you enter whatever figure the city requires and we issue the bond for $100 flat, with no credit information collected in the application — same honest pricing as every bond we write.
