CT marijuana facility operation bonds.
3% of the bond amount.

Once a Connecticut producer's facility is built, the financial security the Department of Consumer Protection requires shifts to the operation phase — a bond payable to the State if the producer fails to provide a substantially uninterrupted supply of marijuana to its usual dispensary facility customers during the license term, under Regs. Conn. State Agencies § 21a-408-29. The amount follows the regulation's milestone schedule — $1,500,000 once the facility is fully constructed, stepping down $500,000 per milestone met. The premium is 3% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, 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's producer regulations under the Palliative Use of Marijuana Act (Conn. Gen. Stat. Chapter 420f) require each licensed producer to maintain financial security — an escrow account, a letter of credit, or a surety bond — payable to the State of Connecticut. In the operation phase, the security answers for a producer who fails to continue operating its facility in a manner that provides a substantially uninterrupted supply of marijuana to its usual dispensary facility customers during the license term.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State (the obligee). The commissioner can only call the security after a hearing under the Uniform Administrative Procedure Act. The required amount follows the regulation's milestone schedule — $1,500,000 once the facility is fully constructed, reduced $500,000 per milestone met, until continuous compliant operation can extinguish the obligation entirely.

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

Regs. Conn. State Agencies § 21a-408-29The producer regulations require a licensed producer's escrow account, letter of credit, or surety bond — payable to the State of Connecticut — to answer if the commissioner determines, after a hearing under the Uniform Administrative Procedure Act, that the producer failed to continue operating its production facility in a manner providing a substantially uninterrupted supply to its usual dispensary facility customers during the license term. The section's milestone schedule reduces the required security by $500,000 per milestone, beginning at $1,500,000 once the facility is fully constructed. Confirm your current required amount with the Department of Consumer Protection.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much does the operation bond cost?The premium is 3% of the bond amount, $100 minimum. The amount itself follows the regulation's milestone schedule — $1,500,000 once the facility is fully constructed, stepping down $500,000 per milestone — so a $1,500,000 bond runs $45,000. Your exact price appears at the application, before you pay.
What amount do I enter?The security amount your license currently requires — the DCP sets it on the milestone schedule in the producer regulations. If you are unsure where your schedule stands, confirm the figure with the Department of Consumer Protection before applying.
What does the bond answer for?Providing a substantially uninterrupted supply of marijuana to your usual dispensary facility customers during the license term. It can only be called after the commissioner holds a hearing under the Uniform Administrative Procedure Act.
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.
Does the requirement ever go away?Under the milestone schedule, continued compliant operation keeps reducing the required security by $500,000 per milestone — and after all milestones are met, the commissioner extinguishes the obligation entirely. Until then, the bond must stay on file at your current required amount.
