What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
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.

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 the town. Submit the executed bond with your Town of Griffith contractor license application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the town insists.
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 $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
