What this bond does

The bond backs performance of the official obligation in the accepted instrument, including any stated duty to account for public assets.

Who needs it
Iowa officeholders and administrative staff preparing a named official's bond.
Who it protects
The bond protects the obligee named in its form. It does not provide personal liability coverage for every act performed in office.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

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.

Use the form to describe the obligation

If your position includes several duties, identify the capacity covered by the bond request. A finance-related duty, board position and separate appointment should not be combined simply because one person holds them.

Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab. Enter the requested amount, office and dates. When issued, complete any required signatures and send the bond to the designated recipient.
