Indiana Surety Bonds
Surety Bond Requirements in IN
The State of Indiana requires several different kinds of surety bonds to allow professionals, contract workers, and companies to do business in the state. You must be bonded in Indiana if you are a collection agent, construction contractor, mortgage broker, or public adjuster.
Indiana contractor license bonds are specified by county and municipal governments, and therefore vary in how you apply for them and what the bond coverage amount must be. With the exception of contractor bonds, all of the other bonds are required by state agencies.
If you need a bond to comply with Indiana regulations, we can help. NNA Surety Bonds has been providing policies to companies and individuals across the United States since 1957.
We offer the following surety bonds in the State of Indiana:
Collection Agency Bond
The Indiana Secretary of State requires collection agencies to post a $5,000 surety bond. The premium for this bond is $100. The bond agreement states that you, the debt collector, will comply with the rules and regulations for collection agencies as set forth in Indiana Code 25 Article 11. Unlawful acts include, but are not limited to, failing to pay proceeds of a collection to a client, failing to deposit said money in a special local depository, and failing to keep records of money collected and remitted.

Contractor’s License Bond
In Indiana, contractor bonds are required at the city or county level and generally range from $5,000 to $20,000. The bond premium can be as low as $100 for the $5,000 bond.
Contractor license bonds are mandated by municipalities to protect individuals and local governments by providing a financial remedy in the event that a contractor should fail to adhere to local laws and building codes or fail to pay all required taxes.
