What this bond does
Match the wholesaler's actual stamp exposure and DOR licensing request. The current guide distinguishes wholesalers from wholesale subcontractors, which do not submit this wholesaler attachment.
- Who needs it
- Colorado cigarette wholesalers applying for or renewing licensing security, or replacing a bond after anticipated monthly stamp purchases change.
- Who it protects
- DR 0219 binds the principal and surety jointly and severally to Colorado/DOR for all cigarette-law taxes, penalties and interest due or becoming due. It expressly waives notice to the surety of the principal's default.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Questions about this bond
Is DR 0219 required from wholesale subcontractors too?
The current DOR guide lists this attachment for wholesalers, not wholesale subcontractors. Match the actual license activity.
Can I assume five calendar years automatically release the bond?
The exemption depends on five consecutive years without cigarette-tax delinquency as determined by DOR. Confirm the qualification and release process; existing security has its own notice terms.
Does the model require default notice to the surety?
It expressly waives the obligee's notice of the principal's default. Read that provision separately from the sixty-day written termination notice.
