What it is and who needs it.
What the official bond actually covers
Mississippi requires many elected and appointed public officers to give an official bond before taking office. Under Miss. Code § 25-1-15, the bond is conditioned upon the faithful performance of all the duties of the office, and a new bond must be secured at the beginning of each new term — at least every four years, in line with the normal election cycle.
The amount is fixed by statute for each office, not by § 25-1-15 itself. For state officers, Miss. Code § 25-1-13 sets specific figures — for example, the State Treasurer at $100,000, the Auditor of Public Accounts at $30,000, the Land Commissioner at $15,000 — and county and local offices have their own statutory amounts. Because the figures differ so much, you enter the amount your office requires.
If an officer breaches a duty of office and the public or the government suffers a loss, recovery can be made against the bond — and if the surety pays, the officer repays the surety. Enter your statutory amount and we issue it at a flat 3% with a soft credit pull that never affects your score.
