About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The Delaware-Muncie Metropolitan Plan Commission administers building and contractor registration for the City of Muncie and Delaware County. It conditions commercial contractor registration on a $20,000 surety bond filed with the Commission before you pull commercial permits.

The bond is a code-compliance and public-protection guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to build to code, pull the proper permits, and follow the Commission’s building ordinances. If you violate those rules and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Commercial contractors who pull permits and build to code treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Delaware-Muncie commercial contractor bond? +
The premium is $600 — a flat 3% of the fixed $20,000 bond amount, the same for every contractor. The $20,000 is set by the Plan Commission, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $20,000? +
No. You pay $600. The $20,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Who requires this bond? +
The Delaware-Muncie Metropolitan Plan Commission, as a condition of registering as a commercial contractor in the City of Muncie and Delaware County. It is a local requirement, not a State of Indiana one.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section. Fixed-amount contractor bonds like this don't need one.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the registration. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out so your registration never lapses over a missed email.
