What it is and who needs it.
What the OTP bond actually guarantees
Maryland licenses other tobacco products (OTP) — tobacco products other than cigarettes — through the Comptroller under Business Regulation Title 16.5. OTP manufacturers and wholesalers must file a surety bond concurrently with the license application, on the Comptroller’s Form 722.
The bond holds the manufacturer or wholesaler liable for the OTP tobacco tax — plus any penalties and fees — so the State is paid even if the licensee doesn’t remit. The Comptroller’s OTP manufacturer/wholesaler bond is commonly written at $5,000, though you should confirm the figure on your application.
It is not insurance for you. If the Comptroller draws on the bond for unpaid tobacco tax and the surety pays, you repay the surety. Licensees who file and pay on time treat the bond as a licensing formality. Pricing is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, with a soft credit pull only, never a hard inquiry.
