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.
















No underwriting queue — enter your amount, pay, and file with the county. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, your permit number if you have one, the bond amount the county required, and an effective date — that is the entire application.
The premium is 2% of the bond amount ($100 minimum) and the bond issues the moment you pay — your executed bond and power of attorney generate on the spot.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to submit with your cannabis business registration or permit paperwork. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
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.
These are the actual issuing fields — your business details, the bond amount, an effective date, and a term. That is the entire application.
