Not in Kansas? Injunction bonds in other states

Kansas injunction & TRO bonds.
Quote on review.

A Kansas court won’t let a temporary injunction or restraining order operate until you post security. The bond protects the party you’re enjoining if the injunction turns out wrongful. The judge fixes the amount — and we underwrite it. A surety specialist reviews your file and returns a quote, usually within one business day.

How much does a Kansas injunction & TRO bond cost?

It is underwritten. The carrier’s base rate is 2% of the bond amount; the underwriter sets your premium from the amount, your credit and any collateral.

How it works

Built for the hearing date.

A court that grants a temporary injunction usually fixes the security at the same time and gives you a short window to post it. Here is the whole process:

A surety specialist underwrites it

A specialist reviews the order, your financials, and any collateral, then returns a quote. The amount is fixed by the court — underwriting decides approval and any collateral, not the penal sum.

ON APPROVAL

Execute & file

Once you bind, we issue the executed bond on the court’s required form with the power of attorney attached, ready to file so the injunction can operate.

In plain English

How an injunction bond works, and what to have ready.

  1. Why the court asks for it

    You are asking the court to order someone to stop, or start, doing something before the case is decided. The court requires a bond before that order takes effect.

  2. Who it protects

    The party the order restrains. If the court later finds the order should not have been granted, they can recover the costs and damages it caused them, up to the bond amount.

  3. If there is a claim

    The surety pays a valid claim after the court rules, and you repay the surety.

Have these ready

  • The court's order granting the injunction or restraining order, with the bond amount it sets
  • The court, case number and the parties' names
  • The complaint or motion that asked for the order
  • Financial statements for the person or business posting the bond
  • Your attorney's name and contact details
About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

Why the court demands security

A temporary injunction freezes the other side before the case is decided. If that injunction later proves wrongful, the enjoined party has been harmed — so Kansas requires the moving party to put up security first.

The injunction bond guarantees the enjoined party’s damages — including attorney fees — get paid if it is finally determined the injunction should not have been granted. The judge fixes the sum the undertaking secures.

Because the surety stands behind that amount, a large penal sum can require collateral and financials. A few exceptions exist — the state and its agencies are not required to give an undertaking, and the judge may waive it for any party at the judge’s discretion — and we flag those before you apply.

Kansas StatuteK.S.A. 60-905 provides that no temporary injunction shall operate unless the party obtaining it gives an undertaking with one or more sufficient sureties in an amount fixed and approved by the judge, securing to the party injured the damages such injured party may sustain, including attorney fees, if it is finally determined that the injunction should not have been granted. Neither the state nor any of its agencies must give an undertaking, and the judge may, at the judge’s discretion, waive the undertaking for any other party. K.S.A. 60-903 sets the parallel security requirement for a temporary restraining order.

After you buy

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.

If a claim is made

A court bond answers to the court and the party its order protects: if the judgment or order the bond secures is not satisfied, that party can claim against it, up to the penal sum the court set.

The surety pays a valid claim after the court rules, and you repay the surety. A court bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.

Renewal and term

Term and renewal are set in the underwriter's quote; a court bond usually runs until the case or appeal it secures is resolved.

Keep the bond in force for as long as the obligation behind it runs.

How to file it

Execute & file. Once you bind, we issue the executed bond on the court’s required form with the power of attorney attached, ready to file so the injunction can operate.

What sets the price

Court bonds are underwritten. The carrier's base rate for this bond is 2% of the bond amount; the underwriter sets your final premium from the amount the court sets, your credit and any collateral.

The application takes about ten minutes.

These are the actual underwriting fields — the order fixing the undertaking, the parties, your business, and your financials. Submit once and a surety specialist returns a quote, typically within one business day. Free until your bond is issued.

FAQ

Common questions.

What is a Kansas injunction or TRO bond?It is the security a court requires before it will let a temporary injunction or restraining order operate. Under K.S.A. 60-905, no temporary injunction operates unless the party gives an undertaking in an amount the judge fixes, securing the damages — including attorney fees — the enjoined party sustains if it is finally determined the injunction should not have been granted.
How much does it cost?It is underwritten, not flat-rated. The judge fixes the penal sum — the amount needed to protect the enjoined party. A surety specialist then reviews your file and any collateral and returns a premium quote, usually within one business day.
Who sets the bond amount?The judge does. K.S.A. 60-905 leaves the amount to the judge, fixed and approved to secure the damages and attorney fees the enjoined party could suffer if the injunction is later determined to have been wrongful. We size and underwrite the bond to whatever the court orders.
Are there cases where no bond is required?Yes. Under K.S.A. 60-905 the state and its agencies are not required to give an undertaking, and the judge may, at the judge’s discretion, waive the undertaking for any other party. We flag these before you apply.
How fast can the bond be issued?A specialist typically returns a quote within one business day of a complete application. Once you bind and any collateral is in place, the executed bond issues on the court’s form, ready to file so the injunction can operate within the court’s deadline.
Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
