What it is and who needs it.
What the Shipshewana contractor bond covers
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 no credit check up to $100,000.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
