What it is and who needs it.
What the reclamation bond actually guarantees
Arizona’s State Land Department manages state trust land, and a mineral-exploration permit lets you prospect on it. Under A.R.S. § 27-255, the Land Commissioner may require a permittee to post a surety bond as a condition of that permit.
The bond does two jobs the statute names: it backs prompt payment for damage to surface owners — grasses, forage, crops, and improvements — caused by your exploration, and it guarantees restoration of the surface land to its former condition when the permit is relinquished or cancelled.
Amounts are set by the Department and tend to follow its schedule — commonly around $3,000 for a single permit, with a blanket bond near $15,000 covering five or more permits. The bond is released once the Department confirms all ground-disturbing work has been reclaimed. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety — it is a guarantee, not insurance for you.
