NV public official bonds.
Flat 3%. Enter your amount.
Nevada conditions many public offices and public-fund positions on an official bond under NRS Chapter 282 — a guarantee that the officer performs faithfully and accounts for public money. The amount is set by the office's governing statute or board; we issue it at a flat 3% with a soft credit pull only.

What it is and who needs it.
What the official bond actually guarantees
Nevada's NRS Chapter 282 (Official Bonds and Oaths) governs the bonds required of public officers and employees. An official bond is a faithful-performance and honesty guarantee: it stands behind the officer's duty to perform the office lawfully and to account for public money that passes through their hands.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the public body you serve (the obligee), with the taxpayers as the protected parties. If an officer defaults — by failing to perform the office's duties or by misapplying public funds — the public body can recover against the bond up to the penal sum.
Because the bond backs an office rather than a license, the amount is set by the law, ordinance, or board that creates the office — Chapter 282 also allows blanket and position bonds for groups of officers. Confirm your required amount with the authority requiring it; whatever it is, we issue at a flat 3%.
