What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Indianapolis and Marion County license plumbing contractors and condition that license on a $10,000 contractor bond. The bond is a guarantee to the city that you will perform plumbing work to the adopted plumbing code, follow permit and inspection rules, and correct work that fails inspection.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Indianapolis as the obligee. If you violate the plumbing contractor ordinance and the city or a property owner is damaged, they can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. This license renews on odd-numbered years, so we track the cycle and notify you ahead of expiration to keep your $10,000 filing continuous.
