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 check up to $10,000.

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 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.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
