Lansing marijuana facility bonds.
$500 flat.

The City of Lansing licenses marihuana operations — retailers, provisioning centers, grow facilities, processors, and the rest — under Chapter 1300 of its Codified Ordinances, and every license application must include proof of a $50,000 surety bond with the City listed as obligee (or $50,000 parked in escrow). Ours is $500 flat, the price you see is the checkout price, and the bond issues the moment you pay. Any credit screen is a soft pull only — it never affects your score.

About this bond

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.

Lansing Codified Ordinances Ch. 1300, § 1300.04(b)Section 1300.04 of the Lansing Codified Ordinances sets the application requirements for a marihuana operation license filed with the City Clerk — including proof of a surety bond in the amount of $50,000 with the City listed as the obligee, to guarantee performance of the terms, conditions, and obligations of Chapter 1300, in a manner and surety approved by the City Attorney; the only alternative is a $50,000 escrow account. The City Attorney's office reviews the bond documentation before the license issues.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Lansing commercial marijuana facility bond?The premium is $500 flat — set by our carrier's rate book for this bond, the same for every facility. The $50,000 bond amount is set by Lansing Codified Ordinances Ch. 1300, so there is no quote process, and the price you see is the checkout price.

Do I pay the $50,000?No. You pay $500. The $50,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the City of Lansing if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money. That's the whole point versus the ordinance's escrow alternative, which really does tie up $50,000.

How fast will I have the bond?This bond is checkout-priced, so it issues the moment you pay — your e-signed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to include with your license application at the City Clerk's Office.

Is there a credit check?If a credit screen runs on this bond, it is a soft pull only — never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score. The price stays $500 flat either way.

Who requires the bond, and where do I file it?The City of Lansing, under Chapter 1300 of its Codified Ordinances. Proof of the bond goes in with your marihuana operation license application at the City Clerk's Office, and the City Attorney's office reviews the bond documentation as part of licensing. The City is the named obligee.
