Terre Haute, IN — Contractor License Bond
Terre Haute requires a $10,000 bond on its own City form for general-contractor registration. The form names “City of Terre Haute, IN or an Unknown Third Party” as obligee. Work in the City right-of-way instead requires the City's $25,000 form and additional insurance.

What this bond does
Provide the correctly matched City license/registration surety for the contractor's activity and work location.
- Who needs it
- Contractors distinguishing ordinary general construction from City right-of-way work and separately licensed trades.
- Who it protects
- The $10,000 City form addresses loss, costs, expenses or damage caused by noncompliance with laws and rules pertaining to the license or permit during the bond term. It is not unconditional completion/payment protection for every private contract or a replacement for insurance.

Questions about this bond
Will a generic provider form be accepted?
The City licensing page explicitly requires its own form and says no other form is accepted. Confirm that match before applying.
Is the $25,000 right-of-way bond added to the $10,000 request?
The City's notice says $25,000 instead of $10,000 for work in its right-of-way, along with additional insurance. Do not create a second purchase or assume the existing option fits without checking.
Does the City's calendar license cycle guarantee automatic bond renewal?
No. Confirm actual bond dates and any surety-executed continuation separately. The form's continuation provision is conditional, not automatic.
