Who Needs This Bond?
You've been told you need a license bond to work as a contractor in Johnson County — that's exactly who this bond is for. Any contractor seeking to register or maintain a license with Johnson County must carry this bond as a condition of that license. Whether you're a general contractor, specialty trade contractor, or remodeler operating within the county, this bond is your ticket to a compliant license. Without it, the county will not issue or renew your contractor registration.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects Johnson County and the property owners you serve from financial harm caused by contractor misconduct, incomplete work, or failure to comply with county licensing requirements. You, the contractor, are the principal — the party bound by the obligation. Johnson County is the obligee — the party requiring and benefiting from the bond's protection. The bond does not replace insurance; it specifically guarantees your compliance with the terms of your county contractor license.
When is it Required?
Before your Johnson County contractor license is issued or renewed, this bond must already be in place — the county will not process your application without it. The requirement kicks in at the point of license application, meaning you cannot wait until after approval to secure the bond. If your current bond lapses or is cancelled, your license status is immediately at risk. Have this bond ready before you submit any paperwork to the county.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is specific to Johnson County, Indiana, and satisfies that county's local contractor licensing requirement only. It is not a statewide Indiana bond and does not substitute for any state-level contractor registration or license that may separately apply to your trade. All work performed under your Johnson County contractor license is subject to the terms of this bond within the county's jurisdiction.
