About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Oklahoma taxes cigarettes and tobacco products through stamps and reporting administered by the Tax Commission. A wholesaler, jobber, or distributing agent handling product before the tax is settled — including unstamped product moving on account — must be licensed and bonded.

Under 68 O.S. §320, the applicant must file a surety, collateral, or cash bond of $25,000, payable to the State of Oklahoma and conditioned on compliance with the tobacco tax article and Tax Commission rules. If you hold more than one license, you post a single bond for the license requiring the greatest amount, rather than one per license.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the state, you repay the surety. A wholesaler who stamps and remits properly treats the bond as a license formality, not a risk.

68 O.S. §320 (Tax Commission)Under 68 O.S. §320, an Oklahoma cigarette/tobacco wholesaler, jobber, or distributing agent must file a $25,000 surety, collateral, or cash bond with the Tax Commission, payable to the State of Oklahoma and conditioned on compliance with the tobacco tax article and Commission rules. An applicant with multiple licenses posts a single bond for the license requiring the greatest amount. Confirm your requirement on your license application.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do I pay the $25,000?No. You pay $250 flat. The $25,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the state if a valid claim is made; it's not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Who requires this bond?The Oklahoma Tax Commission, under 68 O.S. §320, as a condition of a cigarette/tobacco wholesaler, jobber, or distributing agent license. No active bond, no license.
I hold several tobacco licenses — do I need a bond for each?No. Under 68 O.S. §320, an applicant with more than one license posts a single bond for the license requiring the greatest amount, rather than one bond per license.
Is there a credit check?A quick soft credit check may apply — never a hard inquiry, no impact on your score. It informs approval, not price; the price is a flat $250 either way.
When does it renew?Terms run 1, 2, or 3 years — your choice at purchase. We send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, and the bond must stay active for your license to stay valid.
