While many surety bonds are issued on a fixed 1-year term, there are some bonds with a specific expiration date set by the obligee so it’s important that you’re aware of when you will need to renew your bond. Those who currently have any of the bonds listed below must renew them on or before December 31, 2015 to avoid lapses in coverage and potential punitive action.
