Maryland boxing & wrestling tax bonds.
From $100.
A Maryland promoter of boxing, kickboxing, wrestling, or MMA events must guarantee the State athletic tax on the event. Under Business Regulation Title 4, Subtitle 3, that means a tax bond — a minimum of $1,000 — so the State is paid even if the promoter isn’t. Pricing is 1% of your bond amount, with a $100 minimum.

What it is and who needs it.
What the tax bond actually guarantees
Maryland regulates professional boxing, kickboxing, wrestling, and MMA through the State Athletic Commission under Business Regulation Title 4, Subtitle 3. Promoters of these events owe a State athletic tax on the event (under the Tax–General Article), and the State wants that tax guaranteed.
The boxing and wrestling tax bond backs that obligation: it ensures the State receives the tax payment even if the promoter fails to remit it. The Department of Labor administers the tax bond requirement, with a minimum amount of $1,000. This is separate from the promoter’s expense bond, which backs amounts owed to event participants.
It is not insurance for you. If the State draws on the bond for unpaid tax and the surety pays, you repay the surety. Promoters who file and pay their athletic tax on time treat the bond as a licensing formality. Pricing is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with your promoter license. Submit the executed bond with your State Athletic Commission promoter license. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the State insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
