What it is and who needs it.
What the tobacco tax bond covers
Florida taxes other tobacco products (anything other than cigarettes and cigars — chewing tobacco, snuff, pipe tobacco, and the like) under Chapter 210, Part II, Florida Statutes. A wholesale distributor is licensed by the DBPR Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco (ABT) and must post a surety bond under F.S. 210.40 to be eligible.
The bond is conditioned on the payment when due of all taxes, penalties, and accrued interest owed the state. The initial bond is $1,000 on the form specified in Rule 61A-10.082, F.A.C.; the amount can be set higher in line with your tax liability. File it on the Division's surety bond form, DBPR ABT-6032.
No active bond, no license. If the surety pays unremitted tax, you repay the surety — it is a tax guarantee, not insurance for you. Premiums start at $100; at the standard amounts the application collects no credit information, though larger amounts may get a quick soft-pull review that never affects your score.
