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 office determine the amount?
Use the amount in the office's written request. This general Maine offering does not set one amount for every role.
Can I use the previous official's bond?
Prepare the application in your own name. A predecessor's paperwork may help identify the office, but is not your issued bond.
Is applying the same as filing?
No. Apply through Propeller first; deliver the issued bond under your office's instructions afterward.
