How does a contractor license bond work?
A contractor license bond is an agreement between a contractor, a municipality (City of Muncie), and a surety to ensure the contractor follows local building codes and does quality work. If the contractor fails to meet the bond terms and their work leads to damages – including the destruction of buildings or injury to persons – the injured party may file a claim. If the claim is valid, the surety will settle it and compensate the claimant. However, the contractor must repay the surety in full.
It is illegal to operate a construction business without a contractor license bond when required by law, as stated in the Muncie city ordinances. The City of Muncie oversees all construction activities and administers licenses to local contractors.
