The Town of New Carlisle requires a $10,000 bond to register as a contractor and pull permits in the town. Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount, the same for every contractor. Five-minute application, no credit check on this bond.
















A contractor registration bond is among the simplest things in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That is the application — no financials, no credit check section.
Fixed-amount 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 Town of New Carlisle contractor registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
Indiana has no statewide contractor license, so contractor requirements are set locally. The Town of New Carlisle conditions contractor registration on a $10,000 surety bond as a guarantee that you will follow town building and permit rules.
It's a three-party guarantee: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of New Carlisle (the obligee). If you violate the town's contractor or permit ordinances and the town or a resident is harmed, they can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who follow town rules and finish their permits cleanly treat the $10,000 bond as a registration formality.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
