How to ask for a lost or damaged county bond replacement

If you own a county bond or interest coupon that is lost, stolen, destroyed, or damaged, you can ask the county finance director to replace it or pay you. You must file a sworn statement describing the bond and what happened, plus any proof of ownership the director asks for.

The statute, as written — Request for replacement or payment

Any party claiming ownership of a bond issued by a county or any interest coupon appertaining to any bond of that county and which bond, coupon, or both, as the case may be, has been lost, stolen, destroyed, wholly or in part, or so defaced as to impair its value, may file with the director of finance of that county a request for replacement or payment of the bond, coupon or both, as the case may be. The request shall be in the form of an affidavit describing the bond, coupon, or both, as the case may be, and explaining the circumstances under which the bond, coupon, or both, as the case may be, was lost, stolen, destroyed or defaced. The affidavit shall be presented with such evidence as the director of finance may require to establish the ownership of the bond, coupon, or both.
