Questions about this bond
Can I skip the contractor license if the job has no permit?
The department expressly says work for hire still requires a valid Griffith contractor license.
Is the insurance certificate the recorded bond?
No. The current paperwork list requires both as separate documents. The insurance holder field does not establish the bond's legal naming.
Does the public form establish a particular bond sum?
It identifies the recorded Lake County bond but does not state a sum. Have the actual requested amount and wording before proceeding.
