What this bond does

The bond backs the officeholder's official duties as described in the accepted instrument, including any stated responsibility for entrusted public property.

Who needs it
A Michigan elected or appointed official, or someone preparing that official's bond application.
Who it protects
The obligee named in the form is protected. The bond does not provide personal liability insurance or blanket employee protection.

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.

Keep the legal entity wording

Use the city, township, county, district or other public body's name exactly as the bond request directs. A mailing address or abbreviated employer name may leave out wording the recipient expects.

Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab. Supply the requested amount and effective period. After issuance, compare the names with the request before completing the receiving authority's approval and filing steps.
