Oklahoma cigarette & tobacco bonds.
$250 flat.
Oklahoma requires a cigarette and tobacco wholesaler to file a $25,000 bond with the Tax Commission, guaranteeing the reports and tax on the stamps and unstamped products it handles, under 68 O.S. § 304. Ours is $250 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. One soft credit pull that never affects your score; the bond is issued when you pay.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Oklahoma taxes cigarettes through tax stamps and taxes other tobacco products at wholesale, both administered by the Oklahoma Tax Commission under 68 O.S. § 304 and related sections. A wholesaler buys stamps and handles untaxed product, so the state wants a $25,000 bond standing behind the tax and the reporting.
The bond guarantees the permittee will make and file the reports, invoices, and transaction details the Tax Commission requires and pay the tax due. It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety, and the State of Oklahoma (the obligee).
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the state on a tax claim, you repay the surety. Wholesalers who file on time and remit the tax treat the bond as a permit formality. We issue it at $250 flat, with one soft credit pull that never affects your score.

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 $25,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
E-sign & file with the Tax Commission. Pay online and receive the executed bond ready to file with your cigarette/tobacco permit application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $250 at the $25,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
