What this bond does
This is a general Maryland public official offering. The office's applicable authority and accepted bond must define the duties, amount and filing requirements for the particular official.
- Who needs it
- An elected or appointed official, employer or filing office seeking security for a particular Maryland public role. Identify whether the request is state, county, municipal or another public-body requirement.
- Who it protects
- Public official security addresses the duties and protected public interests stated in the accepted instrument. Do not assume it provides personal legal-defense insurance or covers every act performed in office.

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
Is there one standard amount for all Maryland officials?
This general offering does not establish one. The amount and condition must come from the authority applicable to the particular office.
Does the 2024 act allow insurance instead of every public official bond?
No universal conclusion follows. Chapter 437 amends specified state-officer and employee provisions; confirm whether the particular role is covered.
Should the bond name the official or the public employer?
Use the principal and obligee wording required by the office's accepted form. The title alone does not determine those names.
Does checkout satisfy an oath or appointment requirement?
No. Security, appointment, oath, approval, and filing requirements must be completed through the responsible public authority.
