What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Kendallville, Indiana registers contractors and conditions that registration on a $10,000 license bond. The bond is a guarantee to the city that you will build to the adopted codes, follow the city's 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 Kendallville as the obligee. If you violate the city's contractor or permit 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. Contractors who pull proper permits and pass inspection treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.
