How much does a Wyoming 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 get the seizure moving.
A prejudgment writ of replevin can issue once the bond is filed, so the bond is usually the gating step in a claim-and-delivery action. Here is the whole process:
Send us the file
Apply online with the affidavit and a description of the property and its value. That value drives the bond W.S. 1-15-104 requires — in an amount the court fixes, frequently double the value.
A surety specialist underwrites it
A specialist reviews the affidavit, your financials, and any collateral, then returns a quote. The penal sum is set by the court and the property value — underwriting decides approval and collateral.
Execute & file
Once you bind, we issue the executed bond on the form the court requires with the power of attorney attached, ready to file so the sheriff can seize the property under the writ.
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 claim and delivery needs a bond
In Wyoming, a replevin (claim-and-delivery) action lets you retake specific personal property — a vehicle, equipment, inventory — that someone is wrongfully holding, before the lawsuit ends, by seizing it under a prejudgment writ.
Because the property changes hands before a judge decides who is right, Wyoming requires the plaintiff to file a bond that protects the defendant if the seizure turns out to be wrong. The court fixes the amount, and in practice it is frequently set at double the estimated value of the property.
A defendant can post a redelivery bond to keep or regain the property. Either way the amount tracks the property, so the surety underwrites the file and may require collateral on a large penal sum.

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
