You bond the 200 amp service before you call for an electrical inspection. Without this connection the service will not pass and you will not get a connection by the utility company.

Should you ground the neutral bus bar to the service panel?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.The simple answer is...YOU SHOULD BOND THE NEUTRAL BUS-BAR TO THE SERVICE PANEL.Your question makes a mistake common even among electricians. You do not GROUND the neutral bus to the panel. You BOND the neutral bus to the panel. The term "ground" or "grounding" is often applied to "bonding" but bonding serves a different purpose than grounding.To make things more complicated, the rules do not require that you bond the neutral bus to the panel. The rules require that both the neutral bus at the service and any panel be bonded to ground. The panels are bonded to ground usually by direct connection, meaning the ground bars are directly connected to their panels. So for smaller systems the simplest method to bond the neutral bus at the service is to make a direct connection between it and the panel. For larger systems you must use a conductor of an appropriate size to bond the neutral bus to the grounding electrode conductor.I know this may be confusing but that is the reason that grounding and bonding take up more pages in the NEC than any other topics.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
