The State of Nevada has many different surety bonding requirements for businesses and individuals across the state. Below we will outline how Nevada surety bonds work and who requires a bond.

How does a Nevada surety bond work?

A surety bond is a three-party agreement between; the business or person required to get the bond (Principal), the company issuing the bond (the Surety), and the entity that requires the bond (the Obligee).

The purpose of a Nevada surety bond is to protect different parties from damages resulting from the acts of the Principal. If the bondholder violates the terms of the bond, damaged parties can file a claim against the bond seeking financial compensation.

In the event of a successful claim, the bonding company will pay damages up to the total bond amount.

There are a wide variety of surety bonds required in Nevada. These bonds fall into three primary categories:

  • Contract Bonds: These bonds are needed for anyone that works on public construction projects.

  • Court Bonds: These bonds are required for a variety of court proceedings.

Some of the most common types of bonds in the State of Nevada include:

How much do Nevada surety bonds cost?

How much you need to pay for a Nevada surety bond depends on the total bond amount and your bond premium.

The required bond amount for Nevada surety bonds is set by the obligee. This is the maximum amount that the surety company is willing to pay if someone were to make a successful claim against the bond.

Below are the required amounts for some popular Nevada surety bonds:

  • Motor Vehicle Dealer Bond: Varies
  • Contractors Board License Bond: Varies
  • Mortgage Broker Bond: Varies
  • Notary Bond: $10,000

Your premium is the percentage of the required bond amount that you need to pay to get the bond. For example, a $10,000 bond with a 1% premium would cost $100 for you to obtain.

Premiums for surety bonds in Nevada normally range between 1% and 15%. Some bonds are riskier than others, leading the surety company to charge higher premiums to cover against any potential claims.

Depending on the bond, the surety company may review qualifications like your credit history, and industry experience when underwriting the bond. If you have bad credit or a poor financial history you can still get a bond but you may need to pay a slightly higher premium.
