What this bond does

The bond backs the applicant’s indemnity for the sheriff’s specified action. County instructions can identify the wording and recipient needed for that action.

Who needs it
The party asked to supply indemnity for a Washington sheriff’s process request.
Who it protects
The accepted form identifies the officer protected and covered losses. Pierce County’s published instructions address indemnity to its sheriff for claims under the specified writ; they do not guarantee recovery for the applicant.

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.

Follow the receiving county’s instructions

Pierce County’s bond intake sheet calls for the current sheriff’s name, cause number and type of action. Its signature requirements concern the bond being submitted, not documents you must already hold to begin an application. Other counties’ requests need to be checked on their own terms.

This general Washington offering opens RLI and does not display an amount or term. It is separate from the named pre- and post-judgment Propeller applications. Use the request to match the form rather than treating those offerings as interchangeable.

Sources

Have these ready

  1. Keep the county’s written request and applicant’s legal name available. RLI will specify its application-document requirements.
  2. Have the cause number, requested action and relevant writ or property details handy. Use the amount and period requested for that action.
  3. After issuance, check the recipient and any required execution details, then deliver the bond as instructed. The county’s acceptance remains separate.

Questions about this bond

Do Pierce County’s instructions apply everywhere in Washington?

Do not assume that. They establish what Pierce County requests; use the receiving county’s own instructions for your matter.

Is this the pre-judgment or post-judgment Propeller offering?

No. This page opens the general RLI indemnity application. The separately named Propeller offerings have their own applications.

Is a Washington-wide amount shown?

No. This option specifies neither an amount nor a term. Use your actual indemnity request.

What does Purchase Now do?

It opens RLI in a new tab to apply. Issuance, delivery and the sheriff’s acceptance or action are separate stages.
