Three steps to filed.

Apply once, online
Business details, owner information, effective date. The application may include a one-time consent to a soft credit check.
Approved
Most are approved as soon as you apply. Any credit check that runs is a soft pull that never affects your score. If it needs a second look, one to two business days at most.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Louisiana R.S. 32:1741 declares that immobilizing vehicles by booting affects the public interest, and conditions the business on a $10,000 continuing bond deposited with the parish or municipality, with a commercial surety authorized to do business in the state and approved by that local authority.
The bond is conditioned on faithful observance of the booting statute and any local booting ordinances. It indemnifies any person who suffers a loss because the operator failed to observe those provisions, or who suffers loss, damages, or expense from a vehicle that was not properly booted.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim to a harmed vehicle owner, you repay the surety. Operators who follow the statute and local ordinances treat the bond as a permit formality, and we keep your $10,000 filing continuous with renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $10,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with your parish or municipality. Pay online and receive the executed bond, ready to deposit with the parish or municipality that approves your booting permit. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $200 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
