Fishers, IN — Contractor License Bond

Check the work category before applying. Fishers separates general contractor registration from right-of-way registration, and its current right-of-way instructions explicitly require a performance bond—not a license or permit bond.

What this bond does

Help identify the actual Fishers registration and security request before using this contractor-license offering.

Who needs it
Contractors comparing non-right-of-way registration with the City's bonded/right-of-way category.
Who it protects
The City's right-of-way form secures performance of the excavation permit and its conditions for the City. A generic license-bond title does not establish that it supplies this required performance instrument.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Do not substitute a license bond for the stated performance form

The current registration page says a performance bond is required for right-of-way work and nothing else will be accepted. Its linked July 2026 instructions expressly reject permit and license bonds and provide different performance sums by work location, blanket coverage and project scope.

The linked form identifies the excavation permit, project location and City as owner. Its requirements are not proof that every general contractor outside the right-of-way needs the same security. Match the actual accepted instrument, not just a dollar amount.

Choose the correct registration before the permit application

Fishers says General Contractor registration cannot be used to apply for a right-of-way permit. Contractors changing to right-of-way status must submit a new registration in that category, with its required documents; simply editing the old registration is not the stated route.

Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab. Before proceeding, establish that the offered form matches the actual request. After issuance, check its principal, instrument, recipient, sum, dates and execution. City registration approval and any later right-of-way permit and inspections remain separate.

Sources

Have these ready

  1. Identify whether the actual work affects the public right-of-way.
  2. Obtain the City's current accepted instrument and scope-specific sum.
  3. Do not assume a license/permit bond satisfies the performance-only instruction.
  4. After issuance, complete execution and the correct City registration and permit steps separately.

Questions about this bond

Will Fishers accept a license bond for its current right-of-way requirement?

The linked instructions explicitly say no: the required instrument must be a performance bond.

Can I use an approved General Contractor registration for a right-of-way permit?

The current instructions say no. They direct a new contractor registration in the right-of-way category.

Does this page's title establish that its provider form meets that requirement?

No. Match the actual offered form to the City's performance-only request before proceeding. The title alone is insufficient.
