What this bond does

Provide the recorded surety evidence required for applicable Highland contractor license/registration processing.

Who needs it
Applicants selecting General, Electrical, HVAC, Plumbing or a specified Other trade on the actual Town application.
Who it protects
Use the accepted County-wide licensing form, not the separate insurance certificate naming the Town as certificate holder. Do not assume the registration security replaces a private project's performance/payment bond.

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.

Check the $5,000 recorded copy and exact naming

The application specifies: “Board of Commissioners of the County of Lake, State of Indiana, and all cities, towns and municipalities in Lake County, Indiana.” It expressly requires the Recorder's stamp on the copy.

The form separately asks for the company and the named licensee, their role and identification. Keep those identities distinct and use the principal required by the accepted bond request rather than assume the licensee's contact information alone determines it.

Complete the Town package after required recording

The department links an application package with a signed supplement as well as a separate renewal form. Liability documents and any applicable State workers' compensation exemption are separate; an insurance exemption does not establish a surety waiver.

Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab. After issuance, verify the principal, $5,000, prescribed naming, dates and execution, complete recording and provide the stamped copy with the applicable Town documents. The department allows downloaded forms by fax or email; that is not a statement that County recording occurs by email or that purchasing the bond grants the license.

Questions about this bond

Should the bond simply name Highland because the insurance certificate does?

The application gives a different, County-wide bond naming instruction. Keep it separate from the insurance holder field.

Can I provide an unstamped bond copy?

The linked application expressly says the recorded $5,000 copy must have the Recorder's stamp.

Does a workers' compensation exemption remove the bond requirement?

The form describes that exemption under insurance, separately from its recorded-bond requirement. Do not infer a surety waiver.
