What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A contractor license bond is a compliance guarantee to the county. It promises Starke County (and the partner jurisdictions on the registration) that you'll work to local building code and ordinances, pull required permits, and won't leave the county or a property owner holding the bag for code violations.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Starke County, Indiana (the obligee), with the county 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 contractor. Let it lapse and your registration can be suspended — so we track it and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.
