About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the public official bond actually covers

New Hampshire requires its town officers who handle public funds to be bonded. Under RSA 41:6, town treasurers, trustees, library trustees, town clerks, tax collectors and their deputies, and anyone delegated treasury functions are bonded by position — typically under a blanket bond from a surety authorized in the state.

The bond indemnifies against losses through the officers' failure to faithfully perform their duties, to account properly for money or property received by virtue of their positions, or through fraudulent or dishonest acts. It protects the town and its taxpayers, not the officer.

RSA 41:6 directs the Commissioner of Revenue Administration to adopt rules on the amount and form of these bonds, and the premiums are paid by the town. The bonds must provide at least a 2-year discovery period after coverage ends. Enter the amount your town set and we issue it at a flat 3%.

RSA 41:6New Hampshire RSA 41:6 requires town treasurers, trustees, library trustees, town clerks, tax collectors and their deputies (and persons delegated treasury functions) to be bonded by position, indemnifying against losses from failure to faithfully perform duties, account for funds, or from dishonest acts. Premiums are paid by the town, the bonds carry at least a 2-year discovery period, and the Commissioner of Revenue Administration adopts rules on the amount and form. Confirm the required amount with your town or the DRA.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the New Hampshire public official bond? +
The premium is a flat 3% of the bond amount, with a $275 minimum. The amount itself is set by your town under rules adopted by the Commissioner of Revenue Administration, so enter that figure and the quote updates.
Who pays for the bond? +
Under RSA 41:6, the premiums are paid by the town. The bond protects the town against losses from an officer who fails to perform faithfully or account for public money — it is not insurance for the officer.
What amount should I choose? +
The amount is set by your town under DRA rules. If you are not sure, ask your town administrator or the Department of Revenue Administration for the figure, then enter it and the premium updates.
Is there a credit check? +
Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. It informs approval, not price. The rate is a flat 3% either way: credit can affect whether we approve the bond, never what it costs.
When does it renew? +
Terms run 1, 2, or 3 years — your choice at purchase. We send renewal notices 60 and 30 days before expiration, with autopay available, and these bonds carry at least a 2-year discovery period after coverage ends.
