Detailed Information About the Indiana Commercial Contractor ($20,000) Bond:

Registration is annual and the bond goes with it

Delaware County's 2026 Contractor's Registration form says the application is good through December 31, 2026 with valid insurance. Every year starts a new cycle. The county permit and fee schedule lists insurance and bond as requirements for new registrations and for renewals, and the registration form has a place for the bond number.

Who registers

The Building Commissioner's office says general, electrical, plumbing and HVAC contractors working in unincorporated Delaware County must register annually and keep current insurance. The registration form lists four trades: builder, electrician, HVAC and plumber. Plumbing contractors must also provide a current State of Indiana license.

The obligee

The Delaware-Muncie Metropolitan Plan Commission is the county's local planning authority and the region's Metropolitan Planning Organization, handling zoning, land use, rezoning, variances and subdivision approvals. It is the obligee named on this $20,000 commercial contractor bond. The bond guarantees that the contractor will follow the codes and permit requirements that apply to its work, and it gives the obligee a way to recover if the contractor does not. Because the amount is not posted on the county's site, confirm the amount, the exact obligee name and any required bond form with the office before the bond is issued.

Fees and insurance that come with registration

The county fee schedule sets a new registration fee of $100 per trade and a renewal fee of $75 per trade. A certificate of insurance with at least $1,000,000 in coverage is required, and the registration form calls for general liability and workers' compensation, with the workers' compensation certificate needed when the contractor has more than one employee. The form also warns that permits will not be issued if coverage lapses.
