What is a Sales Tax Surety Bond?
A sales tax bond is type of surety bond purchased by retailers or other merchants and required by the State or municipality in which they operate. It is a guarantee that the business will pay all applicable sales tax due to local and state governments by the due date.

What States Require a Sales Tax Bond?
Sales tax bond requirements vary by state, but many U.S. states require businesses to secure a bond as part of the process of obtaining a sales tax permit or license. This bond serves as a financial guarantee that the company will collect and remit sales tax by state laws.
Some of the states where a sales tax bond may be required include:
- California – Required by the CDTFA when risk assessment deems it necessary.
- Texas – Often required by the Texas Comptroller for new or high-volume businesses.
- Florida – The Florida Department of Revenue may require a bond for companies with a history of late payments.
- Illinois – Businesses such as motor fuel retailers may be required to post a sales tax bond.
- New York – The NY Department of Taxation and Finance may require a bond as part of their compliance efforts.
Requirements can depend on your industry, sales volume, and compliance history. Even within the same state, not all businesses are automatically required to post a bond.
JM Surety can help you determine if your business needs a sales tax bond in your state and provide fast, affordable solutions to get bonded quickly.
