Surety Bonds

What is a surety bond?

A surety bond is an agreement under which one party, the surety, guarantees to another party, the obligee, the performance of an obligation by a third party, the principal.

What do surety bonds do?

Surety bonds are designed to guarantee performance in the face of a set of particular risks. These risks are unique to the client and therefore require that each surety bond be uniquely tailored to each client. Surety bonds are usually required for monetary compensation for failure to perform specified acts referenced in the bond form that the principal was monetarily responsible for. Surety bonds are usually required by counties, cities, states and the Federal Government for monetary protection from principals in the private sector.

Who are the three parties to a surety bond?

A surety bond is a three party contract. The first party, the Obligee is the entity requesting the bond. The second party, the Principal is the entity or person performing the contractual obligations set forth in the surety bond form. The third party, the surety Company who insures the Principal’s obligations will be performed according to the surety bond form and statutes.
