Nevada appeal & supersedeas bonds.
The judgment sets the number.
Filing a supersedeas bond means the money judgment can’t be collected while you appeal. The court sets the penal sum: the judgment, plus interest and costs. These bonds are underwritten, not flat-rated: we size the bond, underwrite the file, and a surety specialist returns a quote.

How much does a Nevada appeal & supersedeas bond cost?
It is underwritten. The carrier’s base rate is 2% of the bond amount; the underwriter sets your premium from the amount, your credit and any collateral.
From notice of appeal to a posted bond.
A stay only takes effect once the supersedeas bond is filed and approved. Here is the path, without the broker phone tag:
Tell us the judgment
Send the judgment amount and the basics — court, case, parties, and your accrued-interest figure. That is what sizes the penal sum.
A surety specialist underwrites it
We review the judgment, your financial picture, and whether collateral is needed. You get a real quote — premium and any collateral terms — not a guess.
Execute & file
We issue the supersedeas bond on the court’s required terms with the carrier’s power of attorney, ready to file so the stay can take effect.
How an appeal bond works, and what to have ready.
Why the court asks for it
You lost at trial and want to appeal without paying the judgment first. An appeal bond, also called a supersedeas bond, asks the court to pause collection while the appeal runs.
Who it protects
The party who won. If the appeal fails, they are paid what the judgment awarded, with the interest and costs the court's rules add, up to the bond amount.
If there is a claim
The surety pays a valid claim and you repay the surety. Because the bond can equal the whole judgment, sureties often ask for collateral on large amounts.
Have these ready
- The judgment you are appealing, with the court and case number
- The bond amount the court or its rules require
- Your notice of appeal, or the date you will file it
- Financial statements for the person or business appealing
- Any collateral you can offer, such as cash or a letter of credit
- Your attorney's name and contact details
What it is and who needs it.
What a supersedeas bond actually does
When you lose a money judgment in Nevada and appeal, the winning party can normally start collecting right away. A supersedeas bond (also called an appeal bond) stops that — it stays enforcement while the appeal is pending.
The bond guarantees that if your appeal fails, the judgment creditor still gets paid. That is why the penal sum is the judgment itself, plus accruing interest and allowable costs — the court sets it; we don’t.
Because the bond fully backs a known dollar amount, it is underwritten, not flat-rated. The surety looks at your financial strength and, on larger penal sums, will often require collateral. We surface those terms before you’re on the hook for anything.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A court bond answers to the court and the party its order protects: if the judgment or order the bond secures is not satisfied, that party can claim against it, up to the penal sum the court set.
The surety pays a valid claim after the court rules, and you repay the surety. A court bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
Term and renewal are set in the underwriter's quote; a court bond usually runs until the case or appeal it secures is resolved.
Keep the bond in force for as long as the obligation behind it runs.
How to file it
