About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Fishers contractor bond covers

Indiana has no statewide contractor license, so contractor requirements are set locally. The City of Fishers conditions a contractor license on a surety bond as a guarantee that you will follow city building and permit rules.

It's a three-party guarantee: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Fishers (the obligee). If you violate the city's contractor or building ordinances and the city or a resident is harmed, they can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who pull and close their permits cleanly treat the bond as a license formality. We issue the amount the city set, from $100, with no credit check up to $500,000.

City of Fishers contractor licenseThe City of Fishers requires this bond as a condition of its contractor license; the bond amount and terms are set by the city permitting / building department. Confirm the required amount on your license application — we issue the bond to match.

After you buy

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 premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.

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

File with your Fishers license. Submit the executed bond with your City of Fishers contractor license application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the city insists on them.

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 $500,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.

Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.

One application, issued on the spot.

Submit the application with the bond amount the city set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file with your license.
