What this bond does
This bond backs the applicant’s promise to indemnify the officer for the action described in the accepted bond form. The writ and the indemnity request need to refer to the same matter.
- Who needs it
- The person or business asked to provide indemnity for an Alabama sheriff’s requested action, with an attorney helping where appropriate.
- Who it protects
- The officer named in the bond receives the protection described by its terms. The bond does not promise that you will collect money or prevail in the case.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Have these ready
- Have the applicant’s legal name, case number and written indemnity request available. These are useful preparation details, not a mandatory-document list.
- Keep any writ and property description handy for the provider’s application questions.
- After issuance, check the named officer and follow the recipient’s delivery instructions. An application is separate from the sheriff’s acceptance and action.
Questions about this bond
Is this the sheriff’s own public-official bond?
No. This page concerns indemnity supplied by the party requesting an action. A bond for a sheriff’s performance in office serves a different purpose.
Can I choose the amount from the judgment alone?
Use the amount requested for the indemnity bond. Do not assume that it equals the judgment or property value.
Do I need an issued bond before applying?
No. Start with your request and case details. The provider will tell you what it needs to consider the application and issue a bond.
Where does Purchase Now take me?
RLI opens in a new tab. Complete the application there, then arrange delivery of the issued bond as instructed. Purchase does not itself authorize the requested action.
