About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A contractor license bond is a compliance guarantee to the city. It promises the City of Mishawaka that you'll work to its building code and ordinances, pull required permits, and won't leave the city or a property owner holding the bag for code violations or unfinished, non-conforming work.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Mishawaka, Indiana (the obligee), with the city and property owners as the protected parties. If you violate the building code or ordinance, a harmed party can claim against the bond.

The bond must stay active for as long as you're a registered Mishawaka contractor. Let it lapse and your registration can be suspended — so we track it and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Mishawaka contractor license bond? +
The premium is $275 — our minimum. A flat 3% of the fixed $5,000 bond is $150, which falls under the $275 floor, so the price is $275. Same for every contractor.
Do I pay the $5,000? +
No. You pay $275. The $5,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit.
How fast will I have the bond? +
License bonds like this issue right after purchase for most contractors — often in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount license bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active as long as you hold the Mishawaka registration. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available.
