What it is and who needs it.
What the TPT payment bond actually covers
The Tohono O’odham Nation licenses and taxes businesses operating on the Nation — including construction — through its Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT), administered by the Office of the Treasurer under Title 22, Chapter 2 of the Nation’s code. A prime contractor commencing a construction project on the Nation must obtain a TPT license, and the retail and construction tax rate is 5% (with a partial deduction for contracting activity).
As a condition of its TPT license application, a prime contractor must file, along with a $5 fee, a payment bond in an amount equal to the privilege taxes the project will owe — the Treasurer’s intake process asks directly whether the contractor has submitted such a bond. The bond secures the contractor’s obligation to actually pay the TPT that comes due on the project over its term.
The amount is tied to your project’s estimated tax liability, confirmed with the Office of the Treasurer, not a fixed statutory figure. Enter that estimate here; we price the bond at 1% of the amount, $100 minimum, and no credit check up to $10,000.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Treasurer. Submit the executed bond with your TPT license application or project filing at the Office of the Treasurer. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Treasurer’s office insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
