About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the OTP bond actually guarantees

Maryland licenses other tobacco products (OTP) — tobacco products other than cigarettes — through the Comptroller under Business Regulation Title 16.5. OTP manufacturers and wholesalers must file a surety bond concurrently with the license application, on the Comptroller’s Form 722.

The bond holds the manufacturer or wholesaler liable for the OTP tobacco tax — plus any penalties and fees — so the State is paid even if the licensee doesn’t remit. The Comptroller’s OTP manufacturer/wholesaler bond is commonly written at $5,000, though you should confirm the figure on your application.

It is not insurance for you. If the Comptroller draws on the bond for unpaid tobacco tax and the surety pays, you repay the surety. Licensees who file and pay on time treat the bond as a licensing formality. We issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.

Business Regulation Title 16.5 (Form 722)Maryland OTP manufacturer and wholesaler licenses are issued by the Comptroller under Business Regulation Article, Title 16.5, which requires a surety bond filed concurrently with the application (Comptroller Form 722). The bond guarantees the OTP tobacco tax and related penalties; the manufacturer/wholesaler bond is commonly written at $5,000. Confirm your required amount on your Comptroller application.
