How Much Does a Kentucky Surety Bond Cost?
A Kentucky surety bond costs from $500 to $10,000 depending on the type of bond required. A mortgage broker, for example, is required to have a $50,000 bond. An auto dealer needs a bond up to $100,000
You can purchase your required bond from a Kentucky surety company. Bonds are available at a premium price of 1% to 10% of the full bond amount required. The applicant’s financial assets, credit scores and related professional experience are taken into account when determining the premium rate.
We bond more than 99% of our applicants with a wide range of credit scores. A credit score of 700 or better qualifies for a premium rate of 1% to 3%. A 600 to 699 qualifies the applicant for a 3% to 5% premium rate. A 599 credit score or below qualifies for a 5% to 10% rate.
