Central Oregon's Surety Bond Specialists
A surety bond is a three-party agreement between the principal (the business or contractor), the obligee (the party requiring the bond, usually a government agency or project owner), and the surety (the insurance company guaranteeing the bond).
Prineville Insurance acts as your surety bond broker — we work with multiple surety companies to find the best rate for your specific bond type and credit profile. We handle the paperwork and get your bond issued fast.
If the terms of the bond are not fulfilled, the surety compensates the obligee up to the bond amount.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about surety bonds in Central Oregon
What is a surety bond and why do I need one?
A surety bond is a three-party agreement that guarantees a principal (contractor or business) will fulfill their obligations to an obligee (client or government). Oregon contractors, auto dealers, and many licensed professionals are required by law to carry surety bonds.
How much does a surety bond cost in Oregon?
Surety bond premiums in Oregon typically range from 1-15% of the bond amount per year, depending on the bond type, applicant credit, and financial strength. A $10,000 contractor bond might cost $100-$300/year. Prineville Insurance can find competitive bond rates.
What is the difference between a surety bond and insurance?
Insurance protects the policyholder from losses. A surety bond protects the obligee (the party requiring the bond) — if the principal fails to perform, the surety pays the claim and then seeks reimbursement from the principal.
