The Town of Shipshewana, Indiana requires contractors to register with the Town before pulling permits or working within town limits, and conditions that registration on a contractor license bond filed with the Town.
The bond is a three-party guarantee: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Shipshewana (the obligee). It backs your compliance with the Town’s building and contractor ordinances and protects the Town and the public from losses tied to defective or non-conforming work.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who pull proper permits and follow Shipshewana’s code treat the bond as a registration formality. We issue whatever amount the Town set, pricing from $100, and the application collects no credit information.
