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.

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 $5,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
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

What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $5,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
