About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the lease bond actually covers

The Department of Land and Natural Resources leases state land through its Land Division, 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.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the lessee/principal), the surety, and DLNR (the obligee/lessor). If a lessee defaults on rent, misuses the land, or fails to restore it, DLNR can recover against the bond, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. DLNR may revoke a lease where the bonding requirement is not met.

DLNR sets the bond amount in the lease, commonly tied to the annual rent — the Department has used roughly one to two times the annual rental, though larger or specialized leases can require substantially more. Enter the amount your lease names and we issue it at a flat 3% with a soft credit pull.

DLNR sets the bond amount in the lease, commonly tied to the annual rental (historically roughly one to two times annual rent), and may revoke the lease if the bonding requirement is unmet. Confirm the required amount in your lease documents.
