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.

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 the Department of the Environment. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your Prince George's County towing service license application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 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.
