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; pricing is variable, from $100, with a quick soft credit check that never affects your score.

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 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.
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
E-sign & file with the office. Pay online and receive the executed bond ready to file with the clerk or authority that administers your oath and bond. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever required.
What sets the price
The premium is 0.35% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
