How it works

Built to recover the property fast.

An order of possession does nothing until the bond is filed, and disputed property tends not to stay put. Here is the whole process:

TODAY · 10 MINUTES

Send us the file

Apply online with the case, the parties, and the approximate value of the property you’re recovering. That value sets the penal sum, so an honest estimate keeps the bond accurate.

WITHIN 1 BUSINESS DAY

A surety specialist underwrites it

A specialist reviews the file, your financials, and any collateral, then returns a quote sized at twice the property’s value. Higher-value property may be collateralized.

ON APPROVAL

Execute & file

Once you bind, we issue the executed bond for you to file with the court so the order of possession becomes effective and the property can be delivered.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

Why the bond is double the value

Replevin — also called claim and delivery — lets you take back specific personal property a court order says you’re entitled to, before the lawsuit is over. The replevin bond is what protects the other side in the meantime.

If you ultimately lose, the bond guarantees you return the property or pay its value, and compensate the respondent for any damages. That double-value cushion is why R.C. 2737.10 sets the penal sum at twice the property’s approximate value.

Because the surety stands behind that figure, higher-value property is often supported by financials and, for large amounts, collateral. We tell you what your file needs before you commit.

Ohio StatuteR.C. 2737.10 provides that an order of possession in replevin is not effective until the movant files with the court a bond to the respondent, executed by the movant’s surety, in an amount twice the approximate value of the property described in the order, conditioned that the movant will duly prosecute the action and pay any judgment rendered against the movant. The court may waive or reduce the bond for an indigent movant.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

What is an Ohio replevin bond? +
It is the security that lets you take possession of disputed personal property before the case is decided. Under R.C. 2737.10, an order of possession is not effective until you file a bond, executed by a surety, in an amount twice the approximate value of the property. The bond guarantees you return the property or pay its value, plus damages, if you lose.
How much does it cost? +
It is underwritten, not flat-rated. R.C. 2737.10 sets the penal sum at twice the approximate value of the property. A surety specialist reviews that value, your financials, and any collateral, and returns a premium quote, usually within one business day.
Why is the bond twice the property’s value? +
The double-value cushion ensures that if you ultimately lose, the respondent can be made whole — getting the property back or its value, plus compensation for any damages suffered while you held it. R.C. 2737.10 builds that 2× figure into the bond requirement.
Will I need to post collateral? +
For higher-value property, often yes. The bond is frequently supported by financials and, for large amounts, collateralized with cash, a letter of credit, or pledged assets. We tell you what your specific file requires before you commit.
How fast can the bond be issued? +
A specialist typically returns a quote within one business day of a complete application. Once you bind and any collateral is in place, the executed bond is ready to file so the order of possession becomes effective.
