A public official bond guarantees faithful performance of a Florida public office.
The surety bond guarantees that the principal will perform the duties required under Office-specific Florida Statutes up to the penal sum.
A claim may arise if the principal fails to comply with the bonded Florida obligation or causes covered loss to the obligee or protected parties.
If a claim is valid, the surety may pay up to the bond penalty according to the bond terms; the principal remains liable to reimburse the surety.
Amount, premium, term, and the authority that requires this filing.
Elected and appointed Florida officials whose office statute or commission requires a bond.
Match the statutory amount and obligee (often the Governor or political subdivision).
Share your license type, court order, or obligee form and the exact penal sum required by Florida commissioning authority - political subdivision.
We review credit and filing details, then quote premium options through licensed surety markets.
Once approved, we issue the bond for delivery to State of Florida or political subdivision named in the statute or for your Florida filing package.
The amount is Statutory or commission-set amount for the office, as set under Office-specific Florida Statutes and confirmed with Florida commissioning authority - political subdivision.
The obligee is typically State of Florida or political subdivision named in the statute. Always match the exact name on the Florida form.
Many Florida filings can be underwritten the same day when documents and credit are complete; complex amounts may take longer.
Not always. Premium and collateral options vary by credit and bond size — ask for markets that still write the risk.
Most bonds renew on the term shown (1 Year). Keep continuity so your Florida license or filing does not lapse.
