How Does a Title Agent Bond Work?

Title agency bonds protect the state and the public from noncompliant title agencies by creating a legal agreement between three entities:

1. The principal is the licensed title agent or agency responsible for upholding the bond’s obligations.
2. The obligee is the state department that handles licensing and requires the bond from the principal.
3. The surety is the company that issues the surety bond and financially backs the principal.

How Much Is a Title Agency Surety Bond?

Title bond premium costs are calculated as a percentage of the bond amount set by the governing agency. In most cases, qualified title agent bond applicants will pay 1–5% of the total bond amount. This means a $10,000 bond will cost between $100 to $500 for those with good credit.
