Surety Bond FAQs
-
A surety bond is a legally binding agreement between three parties:
The principal (the party who needs the bond),
The obligee (the party requiring the bond, usually a government agency), and
The surety (the bonding company providing the financial guarantee).
It ensures that the principal will fulfill certain obligations. If they don't, the surety may cover losses up to the bond amount. -
Surety bonds are often required for:
Contractors working on public construction projects
Businesses applying for licenses or permits (e.g., auto dealers, mortgage brokers, notaries)
Court cases involving fiduciary responsibilities
Individuals handling large estates or trusts
-
Insurance protects the policyholder, while a surety bond protects the obligee (third party).
If a claim is paid on a surety bond, the principal is required to repay the surety for the amount covered. -
Bond premiums typically range from 1% to 10% of the total bond amount, depending on the applicant's:
Credit score
Business experience
Financial strength
High-risk applicants may pay more.
-
If the obligee files a valid claim and the principal doesn’t resolve it, the surety may pay the claim. The surety will then pursue the principal for reimbursement.
Claims can damage your credit and ability to get future bonds.
-
No. The premium is a non-refundable fee for the surety company’s risk and service, even if no claims are made.
