About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the cultivation facility bond actually guarantees

Arkansas licenses cultivation facilities under Amendment 98 to the state constitution (the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Amendment of 2016), and the Medical Marijuana Commission's rules require each approved facility to post a $500,000 performance bond with the Commission as obligee. The bond stands behind your continued compliance with Amendment 98, MMC Rules, and Alcoholic Beverage Control Division (ABC) Rules for the one-year license period — including the wind-down requirements of MMC Rules Section IV.14 if the license is not renewed.

If a facility's license is revoked, the bond covers the state's resulting costs on the official form: expenses of retaining a replacement cultivation facility, the cost of ceasing operations at the site (including removal and destruction of remaining marijuana product and cleaning the facility), unpaid ABC penalties, and outstanding taxes, penalties, and interest on any Department of Finance and Administration tax account the facility holds.

It is not insurance for you — the Commission is the only claimant with standing under the bond, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. The license runs in one-year effective periods, and the bond continues alongside it through continuation certificates — we track the term and send renewal notices so your filing never lapses against your license.

Ark. Const. Amend. 98, § 8 + MMC Rules § IV.10.cCultivation facilities are licensed under Section 8 of Amendment 98 to the Arkansas Constitution of 1874 (the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Amendment). Medical Marijuana Commission Rules Section IV.10.c requires a licensee to post a $500,000 performance bond upon approval as a cultivation facility, naming the Commission as obligee on the state's form; dispensaries post a separate $100,000 bond under Section V.10.c. Confirm current filing instructions with the MMC before submitting.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Arkansas medical marijuana cultivation facility bond?The premium is $15,000 flat — set by our carrier's rate book for this bond, and the price you see is the checkout price. The $500,000 bond amount is fixed by MMC Rules Section IV.10.c, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $500,000?No. You pay $15,000. The $500,000 is the bond's maximum penal sum — the surety's ceiling of liability to the Medical Marijuana Commission if a valid claim is made — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Is there a credit check?The application includes a consent for a soft credit pull only — a soft inquiry under the Fair Credit Reporting Act that never affects your score. There is no hard inquiry, and the bond still issues the moment you pay.
Who can make a claim on the bond?Only the Medical Marijuana Commission — the official bond form names the MMC as the sole claimant with legal standing. Covered damages include replacement-facility costs after a revocation, the cost of ceasing site operations (including product removal and destruction), unpaid ABC penalties, and outstanding DFA tax balances.
How long does the bond run?A cultivation facility license runs in one-year effective periods, and the bond runs alongside it — extended for additional one-year terms by continuation certificates filed with the Commission. We track the term and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out so the bond never lapses against your license.
