About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Marshall County — the Indiana county seated in Plymouth — conditions a contractor registration on a $20,000 surety bond. The bond is a code-compliance and public-protection guarantee: it stands behind your work being done to the County's building codes and your restoring any damage to public property.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Marshall County (the obligee). If a registered contractor violates the County's building code, abandons permitted work, or damages public infrastructure, the County or a harmed party 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 build to code treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.

How much is the Marshall County contractor bond? +

Do I pay the $20,000? +
No. You pay $600. The $20,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the County if a valid claim is made — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. A fixed $20,000 license bond doesn't need one.
