Why do I need a public adjuster bond in Montana?

The Office of the Montana State Auditor is in charge of issuing public adjuster licenses in Montana, and public adjusters are required to submit a $5,000 surety bond as part of the licensing process.

Montana public adjuster bonds are required by the Auditor to protect the public from an adjuster’s failure to abide by state rules and regulations. Should any party be harmed due to the actions of a public adjuster, the bond guarantees that $5,000 is available for reparations.

How long is Montana insurance bond in effect?

Public adjuster bonds in Montana remain in effect for 12 months from the date of issuance and must be renewed annually for as long as the individual wishes to continue working as an adjuster. However, the surety does have the right to cancel this bond at any time by providing 30 days’ written notice to the Auditor.
