Pine County cannabis performance bonds.
From $100. Enter your amount.

Pine County registers and regulates cannabis businesses under its Cannabis Business Ordinance (Ordinance 2024-38), adopted under Minnesota's cannabis law, Minn. Stat. ch. 342. When the county requires a performance bond as a condition of a cannabis business registration or permit, this is that bond — the county sets the amount on your paperwork. The premium is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, the bond issues the moment you pay, and 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

Minnesota legalized adult-use cannabis under Minn. Stat. ch. 342, and Pine County adopted its Cannabis Business Ordinance (Ordinance 2024-38) under that chapter — the county registers state-licensed cannabis retail businesses under Minn. Stat. § 342.22 and applies time, place, and manner rules under § 342.13(c). As part of that local approval process, the county can condition a cannabis business registration or permit on a performance bond.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Pine County (the obligee). The bond stands behind your performance of the conditions the county attached to your approval — so if you walk away from those obligations, the county can recover against the bond instead of the taxpayer.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The county sets the bond amount for your operation on your registration or permit paperwork; we issue that amount, from $100, and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.

Pine County Ordinance 2024-38 (Minn. Stat. ch. 342)Pine County regulates cannabis businesses under Ordinance 2024-38, adopted pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 342.13(c) (local time, place, and manner authority) and § 342.22 (local registration of cannabis retail businesses). The performance bond is a county-imposed condition rather than a statutory flat amount — Pine County sets the required figure on your registration or permit paperwork. Confirm your required amount with the Pine County Auditor before you apply.
