Nevada Marijuana Surety Bonds

• Due to the risk from the perspective of the bonding company, Marijuana Surety Bonds are very carefully underwritten and priced accordingly. Part of the cost of this bond will be the time and effort needed to provide the documentation and information the bonding company will need. In all cases, personal credit, personal financials, and corporate financials will be required. In most cases, a business plan will also be required. Of course, we can typically handle all credit types and financial situations — from excellent to poor — as such those terms vary.
• Nevada Marijuana Surety Bonds and Las Vegas Marijuana Surety Bonds can be written for a small percentage, usually between 1% and 5% of the bond amount when applicants meet certain underwriting criteria such as excellent credit, excellent personal and business financials, and excellent industry experience.
• The ProSure Group has a handful of markets willing and able to write marijuana/cannabis surety bonds!

• Marijuana Surety Bonds are in place for a number of reasons. Some of the bonds are used to ensure the Principal pays taxes, while other bonds are used to ensure the Principal faithfully performs all obligations in connection with their marijuana business license. Each municipality has different regulations and ordinances, therefore, each uses a surety bond to guarantee something different.
• The Las Vegas Medical Marijuana Surety Bond and the North Las Vegas Medical Marijuana Surety Bond are in place to ensure the Principal (Medical Marijuana Establishment) indemnifies, defends, and holds harmless the Obligee (City) from any loss as a result of claims and/or litigation that may arise out of the use of the Marijuana Establishment License.
• Additionally, the North Las Vegas and Las Vegas surety bonds ensure the Principal complies with the ordinances and license obligations established by the City.

• Most marijuana surety bonds are required at the state level. However, the State of Nevada does not have a surety bond requirement. So instead, if a bond is required for a marijuana business in Nevada, then it is being required by a local municipality. Nevada has allowed local governments to govern marijuana businesses as they see fit, as long as they don’t conflict with state laws. Currently, only the cities of Las Vegas and North Las Vegas require marijuana businesses to post a surety bond.
• Las Vegas Municipal Code 6.95.090(G) - Medical marijuana establishment-Licenses, requires a $250,000 surety bond to be posted prior to the issuance or renewal of a license. The ordinance requires medical marijuana cultivation facilities, independent testing laboratories, and medical marijuana production facilities to provide a surety bond. The Obligee on the surety bond is the City of Las Vegas. You, the marijuana establishment, are the Principal on the bond.
• North Las Vegas Municipal Code 5.29.070(I) Medical Marijuana Establishment - Licenses, requires a $250,000 surety bond to be posted prior to the issuance or renewal of a license. The ordinance requires all medical marijuana establishment licensees to provide a surety bond. The Obligee on the surety bond is the City of North Las Vegas. You, the marijuana establishment, are the Principal on the bond.
• North Las Vegas Municipal Code 5.29.070(J), stipulates that medical marijuana establishment licensees must also provide a $50,000 surety bond. This second bond ensures the City will be paid for all license fees and penalties owing against the license.

• All marijuana/cannabis bonds are different. Some bonds renew on an annual basis and others renew biennially. There are even some bonds that are only required to be in force until the Principal meets certain obligations. Additionally, some Obligees will allow for the bond amount to be lowered as the Principals meet certain benchmarks. Your bond agent should know these requirements. That information is also stated directly on the bond form.
• Las Vegas Medical Marijuana Establishment Surety Bonds remain in full force and effect from the effective date until cancelled. The bonding company will bill for the bond on an annual basis. The surety bond may be canceled by the surety company with thirty (30) days written notice from the Surety to the Obligee (City of Las Vegas).
