What it is and who needs it.
What the county bond actually covers
La Porte County regulates construction in its unincorporated areas through the County Building Commission, which registers contractors before they pull permits. The Commission conditions registration on a contractor license bond standing behind code-compliant work.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and La Porte County (the obligee). If a registered contractor violates the County's building code, abandons permitted work, or damages public property, the County or a harmed party can recover against the bond.
Because the Commission sets the amount, you enter the figure your registration names and we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
