The Town of Griffith, Indiana requires contractors to file a license bond as a condition of registering to work in the town. Premiums are 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — your exact price is calculated directly from your bond amount and appears at the 60-second application.
















No underwriting queue for the standard town contractor bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the town. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount the town required, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
The application collects no credit information — most bonds are generated as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick soft-pull review that never affects your score.
Submit the executed bond with your Town of Griffith contractor license application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the town insists.
The Town of Griffith, Indiana licenses contractors who perform work within the town and conditions that registration on a surety bond. The bond is a public-protection guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with the town’s building code, ordinances, and permit conditions.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the Town of Griffith (the obligee), with the public as the protected parties. If a contractor’s work violates the town’s code and goes uncorrected, 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 build to code and close out their permits treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.
Submit the application with the bond amount the Town of Griffith set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file with your license.
