The Hawaii Department of Agriculture leases state agricultural land to farmers and agricultural operators, and can condition a lease on a performance bond. The bond guarantees the lessee's full and faithful observance and performance of all the terms, conditions, and covenants of the lease — rent, permitted use, and the condition of the land.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the lessee/principal), the surety, and the Department (the obligee/lessor). If a lessee defaults — unpaid rent, misuse, or failing to restore the land — the Department can recover against the bond, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
The Department sets the bond amount in the lease, commonly tied to the annual rent (often one to two times the annual rental). The bond must generally be deposited before the lease is executed. Enter the amount your lease names and we issue it at a flat 3% with a soft credit pull.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
