§ 11-10-06 — Bonds of county officers

Before entering upon the duties of their respective offices, the following county officers must
be bonded for the faithful discharge of their respective duties in the same manner as other civil
officers are bonded and in the following amounts:
1. The county auditor, recorder, and sheriff, fifteen thousand dollars, except in counties
having a population of less than ten thousand, where the amount must be ten
thousand dollars.
2. A county commissioner, two thousand dollars.
3. The county coroner, five hundred dollars.
4. The state's attorney, three thousand dollars.
5. The county surveyor, an amount, not to exceed two thousand dollars, as may be
determined by the board of county commissioners.

7. The county treasurer, an amount fixed by the board of county commissioners of not
less than seventy-five thousand dollars, except in counties having a population of less
than ten thousand, an amount of not less than forty thousand dollars. When the total
amount of taxes to be collected by the county treasurer in any one year is less than
the minimum amount of bond specified in this subsection, the bond may be in a sum
equal to the amount of taxes to be collected.
8. Repealed by S.L. 1989, ch. 137, § 10.
When the amount of any bond required under this section is dependent upon the population of a
county, the population must be determined as provided in section 11-10-10.
