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.

Marshall County — Contractor licensingMarshall County, Indiana requires this $20,000 bond as a condition of registering or licensing a contractor in the county; the bond amount and terms are set by the County.
