A Louisiana home service contract provider — a company selling home warranty / service agreements — files a surety bond with the Secretary of State on the Department of Insurance uniform form. Pricing is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — the application collects no credit information; the standard figure is $50,000.
















No underwriting queue for the standard provider bond — enter your amount, apply, and file. Here is the whole thing:
Your company details, the bond amount your filing requires, and the effective date — that is the entire application, and it shows your exact price.
The application collects no credit information — most applications issue as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
Submit the executed bond on the Department of Insurance uniform form with your provider registration. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists.
A home service contract — often called a home warranty — promises to repair or replace covered systems and appliances for a fee. Louisiana regulates the providers who sell these contracts, and conditions a provider’s registration on a surety bond standing behind that promise.
The bond is filed with the Secretary of State on the uniform form issued by the Department of Insurance, and holds the provider and surety responsible for well and faithfully discharging the provider’s duties under Titles 22 and 23 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes. The standard penal sum is $50,000.
If a provider fails to honor its service contracts and a consumer is harmed, the bond stands behind them up to its amount. It is not insurance for the provider — if the surety pays a claim, the provider repays the surety. Enter the figure your filing requires; pricing is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, with no credit section in the application.
Submit the application with your required bond amount — your exact price appears in the application, and the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file with the Secretary of State.
