The performance guaranty the Alaska Department of Natural Resources can require when you hold a land use permit, lease, or right-of-way on state land — administered by the Division of Mining, Land and Water. DNR sets the amount; we issue it at a flat 3%, with one soft credit pull that never affects your score.
















Your permit or lease is waiting on this guaranty. Here's the entire process — no broker phone tag:
Business details, the bond amount DNR set, and the effective date. The only extra step is a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Most clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. The credit check is a soft pull that never affects your score.
Pay online and receive the executed performance guaranty, ready to file with the Division of Mining, Land and Water. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. A soft credit pull affects approval, never the price. Enter the figure DNR set and the premium updates.
When you use state land in Alaska under a permit, lease, right-of-way, or material sale contract, the Department of Natural Resources can require a land use performance guaranty — a surety bond standing behind your obligation to use the land as authorized and to restore or reclaim it afterward.
It is administered by the Division of Mining, Land and Water (DMLW), on a form the division provides. The amount reflects the cost of cleanup, restoration, or reclamation if you walk away — DNR sets it for your specific authorization, so the figure on your notice is the one to enter.
If you fail to meet the conditions of your permit or lease, DNR can recover against the guaranty to put the land right — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the amount DNR set at a flat 3%; a soft credit pull informs approval, never the price.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and the guaranty is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
