CT marijuana facility construction bonds.
3% of the $2,000,000 bond.

When Connecticut licenses a medical marijuana producer, the Department of Consumer Protection requires $2,000,000 in financial security — an escrow account, a letter of credit, or this surety bond — payable to the State if the producer fails to timely and successfully complete construction of its production facility, under Regs. Conn. State Agencies § 21a-408-29. The premium is 3% of the bond amount — $60,000 on the $2,000,000 penal sum — and the bond issues the moment you pay. Any credit screen is a soft pull only — it never affects your score.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Connecticut licenses medical marijuana producers through the Department of Consumer Protection under the Palliative Use of Marijuana Act (Conn. Gen. Stat. Chapter 420f). The producer regulations require each licensee to maintain $2,000,000 in financial security — an escrow account, a letter of credit, or a surety bond — and this bond is the surety route.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Connecticut (the obligee). The security is payable to the State if the commissioner determines, after a hearing, that the producer failed to timely and successfully complete construction of its production facility. Once the facility is fully constructed and capable of operating per your approved application, the regulations step the required security down — $500,000 per milestone met.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond has to stay continuously on file while the obligation runs; we track the term and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.

Regs. Conn. State Agencies § 21a-408-29The producer regulations under Connecticut's Palliative Use of Marijuana Act require each licensed producer to maintain a $2,000,000 escrow account, letter of credit, or surety bond payable to the State of Connecticut, callable if the commissioner determines — after a hearing under the Uniform Administrative Procedure Act — that the producer failed to timely and successfully complete construction of a production facility. The section also sets the milestone schedule that reduces the required security by $500,000 as each milestone is met, beginning when the facility is fully constructed.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much does the $2,000,000 construction bond cost?The premium is 3% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — $60,000 for the $2,000,000 penal sum the regulations fix. There is no quote process, and the price you see is the checkout price.
Do I have to post the full $2,000,000?Not in cash — that is the point of the bond. The $2,000,000 is the surety's maximum liability if the State makes a valid claim. Your alternative under the regulations is a $2,000,000 escrow account or letter of credit, which ties up real capital.
When does the requirement go down?The regulations reduce the required security by $500,000 per milestone met — the first when your facility is fully constructed and capable of operating per your approved application. From there, producers carry the smaller operation-phase security.
Is there a credit check?If a credit screen runs on this bond, it is a soft pull only — never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
Who requires the bond, and who is it payable to?The Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection administers producer licensing, and the security is payable to the State of Connecticut. It can only be called after the commissioner holds a hearing under the Uniform Administrative Procedure Act and finds the construction obligation was not met.
