Maine — The way life should be…

Qualifying and the Premium
You are automatically approved for Maine sheriff surety bond in whatever amount you require. There is no credit check or inquiry.
Instead, when you call us, we’ll just ask you the basics. The name as it should appear on your surety bond, and the county where you are Sheriff.
You then have two options.
You can pay your bond for one year; however, if this option is chosen, you’ll need to renew your bond for another year on the bond’s anniversary of issuance.
Or, you can pay a onetime fee for the term of your commission as Sheriff. This is likely the better and receommended option, because you don’t have to renew the bond again—until the end of your current term.
Those who purchase a $25,000 surety bond will pay $100 for one year. A $40,000 surety bond will have a premium of $160 annually.
Once your surety bond is paid, our agency issues it to you immediately. Your original surety bond is sent to you by mail. Upon receipt, you’ll sign your bond as Principal.
The address that we have for filing of your bond is:
State of Maine
35 State House Station
Augusta, ME 04333-0035
