What the public official bond actually covers
A public official bond is a faithful-performance guarantee. Missouri conditions many offices on the officer giving a surety bond before entering on the duties of the office — conditioned that the officer will honestly perform those duties and faithfully account for the public money that passes through their hands.
The amounts and authority come from the office's own statute. A county treasurer bonds in a sum not less than $20,000 up to the highest amount of money held in the prior year (§54.070 RSMo); a county collector bonds to faithfully collect and pay over revenue (§52.020 RSMo); the State Treasurer and countless local and district officers have their own figures. Because the amount is statute- or board-set, you enter it and we issue it.
The bond protects the public and the governmental body against loss from an officer's default or dishonesty. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We write it at a flat 3% with a soft credit pull that never affects your score.
