WI public official bonds.
From $100. Enter your amount.
Many Wisconsin public officers and employees must file an official bond under Wis. Stat. Ch. 19 (19.01), in the amount the statute, ordinance, or appointing authority sets for the office. We issue whatever amount you’ve been told to file — pricing is 0.35% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum; your exact price appears at the application. A quick soft credit check may apply — never a hard inquiry, no impact on your score.

What it is and who needs it.
What the official bond actually covers
A public official bond — an official bond in Wisconsin terms — guarantees that a public officer or employee faithfully performs the duties of the office. Wisconsin’s general framework is Wis. Stat. Ch. 19, and 19.01 treats any bond given as an official bond as carrying all the conditions the law requires, regardless of its wording.
The bond runs in favor of the public the office serves. If a bonded officer fails to perform an official duty, or commits an act forbidden by law, and that causes a loss, the harmed party can recover against the bond. The specific amount comes from the statute, ordinance, or authority that requires the bond for that office.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Because the amount is set per office, enter the figure you were told to file; pricing is variable from $100, and a quick soft credit check may apply.
