About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the tobacco bond actually covers

Georgia licenses cigar, cigarette, and vapor products distributors through the Department of Revenue under Title 48, Chapter 11. The license is conditioned on a performance and tax liability bond running to the State Revenue Commissioner.

The bond is conditioned on the distributor paying all taxes, license fees, charges, penalties, and interest — together with any collection expenses the State incurs — and complying with the laws of Georgia and the Revenue Commissioner's rules. If the distributor fails to pay, the Department recovers against the bond.

Because the amount tracks your tax exposure, the figure is whatever the Department of Revenue sets for your license (commonly anywhere from about $1,000 up to $50,000). Enter that amount and we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check.

O.C.G.A. §§ 48-11-4 and 48-11-7 (Dept. of Revenue)O.C.G.A. §§ 48-11-4 and 48-11-7 require cigar, cigarette, and vapor products distributors to file a performance and tax liability surety bond with the Department of Revenue as a condition of licensure, conditioned on payment of all taxes, fees, penalties, interest, and collection expenses, and compliance with the Revenue Commissioner's rules. The Department sets the amount (commonly $1,000–$50,000). Confirm your required amount on your application.
