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 our carrier prices this bond at 0.5% of the amount, $100 minimum — enter your amount for the exact price. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.

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 Building Commission. Submit the executed bond with your La Porte County contractor registration. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the office 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 $25,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
