What it is and who needs it.
What the public official bond covers
Minnesota’s bond statutes (Minn. Stat. ch. 574) govern official bonds for public officers. When an official bond is required of a state or county officer, the principal and surety are jointly and severally bound to the State of Minnesota in the statutory form, conditioned on the officer faithfully performing the duties of the office.
An official bond is security to all persons for the official delinquencies it is meant to cover. If a public officer, by misconduct or neglect, forfeits the bond, any person injured can bring an action against the officer and the sureties to recover what they are owed.
Many local positions — treasurers, clerks, registrars, and similar — are bonded by statute, ordinance, or a governing body’s resolution, and the obligee sets the penal sum. Whatever amount you have been asked for, we issue the bond at a flat 3% with one soft credit pull.
