Ohio replevin bonds.
Quote on review.
Recover personal property that’s being wrongfully held — before the case is decided. A replevin bond protects the other party while you take possession. The statute sets the amount at twice the property’s value — and we underwrite it. A surety specialist reviews your file and returns a quote, usually within one business day.

How much does an Ohio replevin bond cost?
It is underwritten. The carrier’s base rate is 1% of the bond amount; the underwriter sets your premium from the amount, your credit and any collateral.
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:
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.
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.
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.
How a replevin bond works, and what to have ready.
Why the court asks for it
You are suing to get back property someone else is holding, and you want it back before the case ends. The court requires a bond before it orders the property taken and returned to you.
Who it protects
The person holding the property. If the court later decides you were not entitled to it, they recover the property or its value, and their damages, up to the bond amount.
If there is a claim
The surety pays a valid claim after the court rules, and you repay the surety.
Have these ready
- The complaint and your motion or application for the writ
- A description of the property and proof of its value, such as an invoice, appraisal or loan papers
- The bond amount the court or statute requires
- The court, case number and the parties' names
- Financial statements, and collateral details for a large amount
- Your attorney's name and contact details
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.

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

What sets the price
Court bonds are underwritten. The carrier's base rate for this bond is 1% of the bond amount; the underwriter sets your final premium from the amount the court sets, your credit and any collateral.
