What it is and who needs it.
What the nonresident contractor bond covers
Oklahoma defines a nonresident contractor as one whose principal place of business is outside the state, or a multistate employer without a permanent Oklahoma workforce of three or more. Under 68 O.S. §1701 et seq., such a contractor must register and file a bond with the Oklahoma Tax Commission before performing a contract here.
The bond is conditioned on compliance with Oklahoma's tax laws — state and local — and the Oklahoma Employment Security Act. It guarantees that the income, sales, use, and withholding taxes arising from your Oklahoma work get paid, protecting the state and local taxing authorities if you leave without settling up.
The amount is set by the Tax Commission, generally based on the estimated tax exposure of your contract. The Commission can waive the bond in some cases. We issue whatever amount the Commission names, with premiums priced at 2% of that amount, $100 minimum — file it with your nonresident contractor registration (Packet N).

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.
How to file it
File with the Oklahoma Tax Commission. Submit the executed bond to register as a nonresident contractor. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Commission insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
