What this bond does

Provide the surety evidence required for applicable contractor registration with the County Building Department.

Who needs it
Contractors identifying the County's unincorporated-area registration and their specified fields of work.
Who it protects
The linked registration section says the bond is payable to LaPorte County Unincorporated for uncompleted work or Article violations requiring County corrective action. It is registration security, not an automatic substitute for a private owner'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.

Register the contractor and identify the actual fields

Section 8-200 describes one registration per contractor listing the specified fields of construction work. It also requires general contractors to ensure their subcontractors are registered; a general contractor's registration is not a substitute for subcontractor registration.

The current application separates the company, business structure and principal officer and asks for the type of registration. Match the actual legal applicant and accepted bond request rather than use only a contact person's name.

Prepare the issued bond for the County registration upload

The current department page directs applicants to choose the registration type, complete the application and upload copies of liability insurance, workers' compensation or waiver, and the $10,000 County Unincorporated bond. The insurance waiver is a separate item, not a stated bond exemption.

Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab. After issuance, check the applicant, County recipient, $10,000, dates and execution before completing the County submission. The linked sections describe a twelve-month registration/anniversary cycle; they do not create a provider term choice. Building permit applications and inspections remain separate.

Questions about this bond

Does County registration automatically register my subcontractors?

No. The linked section requires general contractors to ensure subcontractors are registered.

Does the workers' compensation waiver replace the bond?

The department lists the insurance/waiver and $10,000 bond separately. Do not infer a surety waiver.

Is this automatically the City's contractor registration bond?

No. The department's current request expressly identifies La Porte County Unincorporated. Match the authority handling the work.
