About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the nonresident contractor bond covers

Oklahoma defines a nonresident contractor as one whose principal place of business is outside the state, or a multistate employer without a permanent Oklahoma workforce of three or more. Under 68 O.S. §1701 et seq., such a contractor must register and file a bond with the Oklahoma Tax Commission before performing a contract here.

The bond is conditioned on compliance with Oklahoma's tax laws — state and local — and the Oklahoma Employment Security Act. It guarantees that the income, sales, use, and withholding taxes arising from your Oklahoma work get paid, protecting the state and local taxing authorities if you leave without settling up.

The amount is set by the Tax Commission, generally based on the estimated tax exposure of your contract. The Commission can waive the bond in some cases. We issue whatever amount the Commission names, with premiums priced at 2% of that amount, $100 minimum — file it with your nonresident contractor registration (Packet N).

68 O.S. §1701 et seq. (Oklahoma Tax Commission)Title 68, Oklahoma Statutes, §1701 et seq. requires nonresident contractors to register with the Oklahoma Tax Commission and file a surety bond conditioned on compliance with Oklahoma tax laws (state and local) and the Oklahoma Employment Security Act. The bond amount is set by the Commission based on estimated tax exposure; failure to file is a misdemeanor under §1704. Confirm your required amount with the Tax Commission.
