What it is and who needs it.
What the sales tax bond actually covers
North Dakota retailers collect sales and use tax and remit it to the Office of State Tax Commissioner. Most retailers never need a bond — but under N.D.C.C. 57-39.2-12, the Commissioner may require one when, in the Commissioner's judgment, it is necessary to secure the collection of the tax.
A bond is typically required when a retailer files late, falls behind on remitting tax, or a new or higher-risk account warrants security. The Commissioner fixes the amount case by case to secure the tax and penalties due or that may become due — there is no single statutory figure.
The bond stands behind the tax you collect or owe — if you fail to remit, the state can recover against it. We issue the amount the Commissioner set, at a flat 3% with no credit check. Because North Dakota requires the original signed and sealed bond on file, we mail you the original to submit.
