How Much Does a Louisiana Surety Bond Cost?

The cost of a surety bond in Louisiana spans from $100 to $7,500. Bonds are required for many trades in Louisiana, and requirements vary by trade. An auto dealer bond up to $50,000 is required. For an auctioneer, a $10,000 bond is required in Louisiana. 

When you purchase your surety bond from an authorized Louisiana surety company, you can pay a premium rather than the full bond amount. The premium ranges from 1% to 10% of the required bond amount. Credit scores, financial assets and professional experience impact the premium that you qualify for. 

We offer bonds for most credit scores. In fact, more than 99% of our applicants qualify for the surety bond they need. Your premium will be 1% to 3% with a 700 credit score or higher. The rate is 3% to 5% for applicants with a 600 to 699 score. The rate for a lower credit score is 5% to 10%.
