What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A Tippecanoe County construction maintenance bond is a workmanship guarantee. The county requires it so that construction or restoration work — often a road cut, drainage, or right-of-way restoration — holds up for the maintenance period after the work is accepted, without sinking, cracking, or failing.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Tippecanoe County Board of Commissioners (the obligee). If the work fails during the maintenance period and you don't repair it, the county can recover its repair costs against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
The bond runs through the county's maintenance period. We track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out so your $5,000 filing stays continuous for as long as the county requires it.
