California Cannabis Surety Bond – What you need to know!

Cannabis Surety Bond – California cannabis business owners are now required to establish a surety bond and here’s what you need to know…

f your business is already up and running, it’s important for you to comply because penalties may involve significant fines or the state may even go to the extent of shutting down your business.

The Cannabis Surety Bond (some are calling it the “$5000 bond”) is required for new cannabis operations to obtain their license.  If your business is already up and running, it’s important for you to comply because penalties may involve significant fines or the state may even go to the extent of shutting down your business.  Not worth the risk.

What is it for?  The short answer.Here is what you need to know about California Cannabis Surety Bonds.

The Cannabis Surety Bond is an agreement (or guarantee) between you, the business owner, and the government.  In the event that the State incurs an expense or a cannabis business owner fails to pay sales and/or excise taxes, the State may choose to liquidate the bond in order to compensate for the loss.  This bond also acts as a “performance guarantee” for cannabis operations who are constructing new facilities to ensure satisfactory completion of the project.

California cannabis business owners are now required to establish a surety bond.

Details of the Cannabis Surety bond can be found in Section 26051.5 on the California Legislature  website as well as the Bureau of Cannabis Control.
