Who Needs a Vacation Club Bond?
Vacation clubs with membership fees over $35 need a $50,000 business to do business in Kentucky. The bond can be used to repay prepaid membership fees if a club goes out of business or otherwise fails to fulfill contracts.
How Does a Kentucky Vacation Club Bond Work?
As with all surety bonds, a vacation club bond creates a legal contract between three parties:
- Principal: You, the vacation club owner filing the bond
- Obligee: The Kentucky Attorney General requiring the bond
- Surety: The provider issuing the bond
This holds you financially responsible for upholding Kentucky Revised Statutes 367.395.
If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you are ultimately responsible for refunding the surety.
How Do I Renew My Bond?
To renew your vacation club bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted. We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
