What it is and who needs it.
What the Tell City contractor bond guarantees
The City of Tell City conditions its contractor license on a $1,000 surety bond filed with the City. The bond is a public-protection guarantee: it backs your compliance with the City’s building, permit, and contractor rules while you work in Tell City.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Tell City (the obligee), with the City and harmed parties as the protected parties. If your work damages public property or violates the contractor ordinance, a claim can be made against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who pull proper permits and restore the work site treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.
