Illinois replevin bonds.
Recover the property. Double its value.
Replevin lets you recover personal property that’s being wrongfully held — before the case is decided.
Under 735 ILCS 5/19-112, you post a bond in double the value of the property first.
The bond is underwritten to that value, not flat-rated.

The bond has to be in hand before the sheriff serves the order for replevin. Here is the whole process:
Tell us the property & its value
Apply online with a description and fair value of the property. The penal sum is double that value, so an accurate figure sizes the bond.
A specialist underwrites it
A surety specialist reviews the value, your financials, and indemnity. For higher-value property we discuss collateral up front.
Execute & deliver to the sheriff
We issue the executed bond so it can be given to the sheriff or officer before the order for replevin is served.

How a replevin bond works
Replevin (also called claim-and-delivery) lets you recover specific personal property that someone is wrongfully holding — equipment, vehicles, inventory, a leased asset — before the lawsuit is finished.
Because you’re taking possession before the court has decided who’s right, Illinois requires you to post a bond first. The replevin bond protects the defendant: if it turns out the property should be returned to them, the bond covers the return of the property plus costs and damages.
The penal sum is set by statute at double the value of the property. These bonds are underwritten to that value, and higher-value property may require collateral. We size and quote once we know what’s being replevied.
