What this bond does
Nashville’s published indemnity form under TCA 26-3-104 identifies the plaintiff or plaintiff’s attorney for the judgment creditor and surety. It provides indemnity for claims arising from the levy or sale described by the form.
- Who needs it
- The judgment-creditor side of a Tennessee matter where the sheriff has requested this indemnity. Use the responsible applicant identified in your actual request.
- Who it protects
- The Nashville form names the sheriff, deputies and people aiding the sheriff, with indemnity for the listed losses and judgments arising from the levy or sale. The form does not guarantee collection for the creditor.

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
Who is protected by the published Nashville form?
It names the sheriff, deputies and people aiding the sheriff for the levy or sale described. Match the protected parties in your actual requested form.
Does the bond pay me if collection fails?
No. Sheriff indemnity addresses the obligation to the protected officer and parties, not a guarantee that the creditor recovers money.
Does the form set the amount for this application?
The published form does not establish a fixed amount for this listing. Use the security requested for your matter.
