A Florida surplus lines - insurance producer surety bond guarantees the licensed producer will conduct business under the Surplus Lines Law and promptly remit required taxes to DFS.
The surety bond guarantees that the principal will perform the duties required under Fla. Stat. § 626.928 up to the penal sum.
A claim may arise if the principal fails to comply with the bonded Florida obligation or causes covered loss to the obligee or protected parties.
If a claim is valid, the surety may pay up to the bond penalty according to the bond terms; the principal remains liable to reimburse the surety.
