What it is and who needs it.
What the official bond actually guarantees
Nebraska conditions many public offices on an official bond given before the officer enters on the duties of the office. Under Neb. Rev. Stat. 11-101, the oath of faithful performance is endorsed on the bond, and the bond runs to the political subdivision (often the county) as obligee.
The bond guarantees the officer will faithfully and impartially perform the duties of the office and account for public funds in their charge. If the officer defaults — for example, by failing to account for money received — the public body and those harmed can recover against the bond.
The penalty amount is set by statute or by the governing body for each office, so there is no single figure. Note that elected county officers generally must give individual bonds — a blanket bond may not suffice — so confirm the form your filing officer requires.
