What it is and who needs it.
What the plaintiff’s levy bond actually covers
When a plaintiff wants to levy on or seize a defendant’s property before judgment, Virginia requires a bond to protect against a wrongful levy. Code of Virginia § 8.01-537.1 says the plaintiff, at the time of suing out an attachment or other pretrial levy or seizure, must give a bond with approved surety (or a cash or property bond).
The bond is conditioned to pay all costs and damages awarded against the plaintiff, or sustained by any person, by reason of a wrongful levy or seizure. The amount is set by the court: at least the estimated fair market value of the property for a levy, and at least double that value for a seizure (a property bond runs double either way).
This page is for the case where the principal is the named defendant posting the bond. If the surety pays out on a wrongful-levy claim, the principal repays the surety — it is a guarantee, not insurance for you. We issue the amount the court set with premiums starting from $125 and one quick soft credit check.
