What it is and who needs it.
What the contractor bond actually covers
The City of Evansville and Vanderburgh County jointly register and regulate contractors through the Evansville–Vanderburgh County Building Commission. Registration is conditioned on a contractor license bond filed with the Commission as part of your contractor's certificate of registration.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Evansville / Vanderburgh County (the obligee). The bond stands behind your compliance with the local building code, permit conditions, and the registration ordinance — if you leave work unfinished, damage public property, or violate permit terms, a harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who pull proper permits and finish their work treat the bond as a registration formality. Enter the amount your class requires and we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
