What it is and who needs it.
What the erosion control bond actually covers
When you disturb land in Hendricks County — clearing, grading, or building — the county requires a stormwater and erosion control plan, and an erosion and sediment control bond as a condition of the permit. The bond guarantees you install and maintain the silt fences, inlet protection, and other controls on your approved plan.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Hendricks County (the obligee). If erosion controls fail or sediment leaves the site and the county has to step in to restore them, the county can recover its costs against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
The amount is set by the county from your disturbed area and required controls, so it varies site to site — and the premium varies with it. Enter the figure on your permit; the premium is 2% of that amount, $100 minimum, and a quick soft credit check may apply that never affects your score.

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.
