The bond amount for this bond is set by the obligee on a case-by-case basis rather than by a statewide statute, so there is no per-state table. These are estimated ranges, not quotes. Final premium is set by underwriting and depends on the bond amount, your credit and financials, the bond class, and the obligee. A firm number takes a short application.
