What it is and who needs it.
What the indemnity bond actually covers
When an Arizona sheriff levies a writ of execution, attachment, or replevin on personal property and someone who is not a party to the writ claims that property, A.R.S. § 12-1331 lets that third party file a sworn claim. The sheriff then faces a choice: release the property, or demand that the creditor who directed the levy post a bond.
That bond is the indemnity to sheriff. It protects the sheriff against loss for proceeding with a levy that turns out to be wrongful — covering wrongful seizure, damage to the property, or executing on a writ later found invalid. With the bond in hand, the sheriff can carry out the court’s order without personal exposure.
The amount is set by the court or the sheriff’s office — commonly twice the value of the disputed property. If the levy is later found wrongful and the bond is called, the creditor who posted it repays the surety. It is a guarantee to the officer, not insurance for the creditor.
