What it is and who needs it.
What the license bond actually guarantees
A contractor license bond is an ordinance-compliance guarantee. When the City of Mishawaka licenses you to work within city limits, it wants a financial backstop that you'll follow the City's building and engineering codes and repair any damage to public property.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Mishawaka (the obligee). If you violate the City's contractor ordinance or damage public property, the City can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the license. Let it lapse and the City can suspend your contractor registration — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $5,000 filing continuous.
