The bond is the easiest exhibit in a Lansing marihuana license application. Here's the entire process:

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Lansing regulates marihuana businesses through Chapter 1300 of its Codified Ordinances, with applications and renewals filed with the City Clerk. Among the application exhibits, the ordinance requires proof of a $50,000 surety bond with the City listed as the obligee, in a form and surety approved by the City Attorney — to guarantee your performance of the chapter's terms, conditions, and obligations. The only alternative is an escrow account holding the same $50,000 at a regulated financial institution.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Lansing (the obligee). The bond stands behind your compliance with Chapter 1300 — the licensing, operating, and location rules the city enforces on every marihuana operation. The City Attorney's office reviews the bond documentation before a license issues, and renewals re-verify it.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Renewal applications are due to the City Clerk at least 28 days before an existing license expires, so the bond has to stay continuously on file; we track the term and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.

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 $50,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
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 the Lansing City Clerk. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to include with your marihuana operation license application at the City Clerk's Office. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $500 at the $50,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
