The City of Marion, Indiana requires a $10,000 contractor license bond as a condition of contractor registration and permit work in the city. Ours is $100 flat, issued instantly — and the application is five minutes with no credit section.
















City contractor license bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit section.
License bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your Marion contractor registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The City of Marion, 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 Marion 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.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this bond doesn't have one.
