Many Public Official bonds are required by law and are generally
conditioned to guarantee a public officer's faithful performance of duty. The
Public Official Bond is for the protection of the taxpayers and the penalty or
amount of the bond is established by law. The term of an Official Bond is
generally coextensive with the Official's term of office and the bond usually
remains in force throughout the term, or until a successor is elected or
appointed and qualifies.
