What is this bond?

A North Dakota Public Official Bond is a type of surety bond that guarantees an elected or appointed official will faithfully and ethically perform their professional duties. It protects the public and the government entity from financial losses caused by the official's fraud, mismanagement of funds, or failure to follow regulations.

Who needs it?

Various elected and appointed public officials operating within North Dakota typically need this bond before taking office. This often includes mayors, city clerks, treasurers, tax collectors, judges, and other municipal or state-level administrators. Specific bonding requirements vary depending on the local jurisdiction or government agency.

Why is it required?

Obligees require this bond to ensure public funds and community interests are protected against administrative negligence or corruption. By requiring a surety bond, the government entity creates a financial safety net to recover funds if an official breaches the public trust. Always verify your specific bond requirements with your issuing agency to ensure compliance.
