For Larger Tax Bonds (over $50,000)
Complete and return this application with at least one current bank and personal financial statement from each owner (only one of each for married couples however each spouse needs to indemnify).
Also, send the normal letter from escrow that discusses the requirement size, and addresses the parcel address details.
We also require a general idea of the purpose for not paying immediately and whether or not renewal in a year is a likelihood.
If there is a corporation that owns the property (or one the owners control that would also be available to indemnify the surety) send over a bank and financial statement for it too. Sending over the first couple of pages of tax returns for any party that will assist in the indemnification process is also helpful. The greater the financial wherewithal, the lower the risk, and the lower the premium quote will be is instrumental in understanding the process. The underwriter will want to see that there is liquidity somewhere to eventually pay the tax liability.
The rate will be determined by the credit and financials of the applicants.
Please return with a copy of the title company’s letter that references the specifics of the requirement. If the Owner/Principal prefers, electronic signatures can be obtained later with a copy of each owner's (husbands and spouses required) driver's license and separate email addresses for each.
