What this bond does
The bond secures the applicant’s indemnity undertaking for the officer’s specified act. The requested form should describe the same process as your case paperwork.
- Who needs it
- The party asked to provide indemnity for an Illinois sheriff’s action, including a business applying through its authorized representative.
- Who it protects
- The named officer receives the protection stated in the bond. It is not a promise that the applicant will recover money or that disputed property belongs to the debtor.

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.

Questions about this bond
Does my attorney become the applicant?
Not simply by submitting the application. Use the party named as responsible for the requested indemnity.
Is this a bond for serving as sheriff?
No. This offering addresses a party’s indemnity for process, not the sheriff’s public-office duties.
Is the judgment amount the amount to enter?
Use the indemnity amount requested for your matter. Do not assume it is the same as the judgment.
