What this bond does

The bond secures faithful performance of the stated official duties, including any obligation in the form to account for entrusted public property.

Who needs it
A Washington officeholder or public employer arranging that official's requested bond.
Who it protects
The instrument protects the named obligee. It does not supply personal liability coverage or automatic protection for the whole public body.

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.

Name the entity behind the office

A state, county, city or district role needs the exact entity wording in its request. If you serve a district, include its legal name rather than using only the city where its office is located.

Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab. Supply the applicant, amount and requested effective period. After issuance, complete the office's signing and filing instructions.

Sources
