What it is and who needs it.
What the official bond actually guarantees
An Oregon public official bond is a faithful-performance and fidelity guarantee. When a public officer handles public funds or holds a position of trust, the office can require a bond that the officer will perform the duties of the office honestly and account for the money that passes through their hands.
Oregon law sets official bonds as security to the public and to anyone injured by a breach of the officer's duty (see ORS 30.210, on to whom official bonds are security). The specific penal sum is set by the appointing authority, the governing body, or the statute creating the office — for example a city council fixes a city treasurer's bond, and certain state offices have statutory minimums.
Because there is no single statewide amount, you enter the figure your office requires. If the surety pays a claim — say, for misapplied public funds — you repay the surety. Premium is 0.35% of your bond amount, with a $100 minimum; a quick soft credit check may apply, and it's never a hard inquiry.
