What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Prince George's County licenses towing services through its Department of the Environment, and conditions the license on a $10,000 surety bond payable to the county. The bond is a public-and-consumer protection guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with the county's towing regulations and any reimbursement or penalty a hearing officer orders.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Prince George's County (the obligee), with the public your towing affects as the protected parties. If a tow operator overcharges, damages a vehicle, or ignores an order under the towing rules, the harmed party or the county can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Tow operators who follow the county's rate and notice rules treat the bond as a license formality.
