About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the job tax bond actually covers

Mississippi taxes construction contracting under the Sales Tax Law. Under Miss. Code §27-65-21, the prime contractor on a taxable, non-residential construction contract exceeding $75,000 must guarantee the taxes due — and a contractor domiciled outside Mississippi on a contract exceeding $10,000 must either post a surety bond or prepay the tax before starting work. The bond covers sales, use, income, franchise, withholding, and special (diesel) fuel taxes on that contract.

Rather than a blanket bond across multiple jobs, a contractor bonding a single contract files a job bond on Form 72-441. Unlike the blanket bond, the Department of Revenue's guidance puts no dollar limitation on the face of a job bond — it guarantees the actual tax liability on that one contract, so confirm the required amount directly with the Department before applying.

It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays the Department on unremitted contract tax, you repay the surety. Confirm the exact required amount with the Department of Revenue — enter it and pricing is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, with the application collecting no credit information.

Miss. Code §27-65-21 (DOR Form 72-441, job bond)Under Miss. Code §27-65-21, the prime contractor on a taxable, non-residential Mississippi construction contract exceeding $75,000 must guarantee the sales, use, income, franchise, withholding, and special (diesel) fuel taxes due; a contractor domiciled outside Mississippi on a contract exceeding $10,000 must post a surety bond or prepay the tax before commencing work. A job bond (DOR Form 72-441) may be filed against a single contract; DOR guidance puts no dollar limitation on the face of a job bond, so it guarantees the actual tax liability on that contract rather than a fixed figure — the 4%-of-contract factor applies to the blanket bond (Form 72-442) covering multiple contracts, not the job bond. Confirm the required amount with the Department of Revenue.

FAQ

Common questions.

What amount should I enter?Enter the bond amount the Department of Revenue confirmed for this specific contract. DOR's guidance ties the 4%-of-contract factor to the blanket bond covering multiple contracts, not a single-contract job bond, so confirm the exact figure with the Department before applying.

What does the bond guarantee?That the sales, use, income, franchise, withholding, and special fuel taxes due on this contract get paid. If they are not and the Department is harmed, it can recover against the bond up to its limit — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.

Where do I file it?With the Mississippi Department of Revenue, on Form 72-441, referencing the specific contract the bond covers. We issue the executed job bond ready to submit; wet-ink originals are mailed when the Department requires them.

Do I pay the full bond amount?No. You pay the premium — 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum — not the bond amount itself. The bond amount is the Department's maximum recovery if the contract's taxes go unpaid, not a deposit.

How is this different from the blanket tax bond?A job bond (Form 72-441) covers one specific contract. A blanket bond (Form 72-442) covers the aggregate tax liability on every contract you have outstanding at once. If you are bonding a single job, this is the right form.
