What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Prince George's County licenses motor vehicle repair facilities and conditions the license on a $2,000 surety bond payable to the county. The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee standing behind your compliance with the county's repair-facility licensing rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Prince George's County (the obligee), with your repair customers as the protected parties. If a shop violates the licensing rules and a customer or the county is harmed, they can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Shops that follow the county rules treat the bond as a license formality.

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 $2,000 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

What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $2,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
