What this bond does

This bond is a form of security for the sales and use tax obligation in your Department of Revenue request. The bond application concerns that security, while your business's registration, returns and tax payments remain separate tasks.

Who needs it
Florida sales and use tax certificate holders asked to provide surety bond security for their tax account.
Who it protects
The bond secures the tax obligation owed to the recipient identified in the Department's required form. It does not insure the certificate holder against its own tax liability.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

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.

Start with the security request

Florida's DR-29 lists a surety bond among forms of sales and use tax security. DR-29 is an application for release or refund of security already posted; it is not the form to use to start this bond application.

This page offers one Propeller purchase route, without a fixed amount or term. Have your original security request available to identify the amount, effective date and certificate number for the new bond.

Sources

Have these ready

  1. Gather the Department's security request and required bond form, if provided.
  2. Have the certificate holder's legal name, certificate number, business address and FEIN available.
  3. Check the security amount and effective date requested for the account.

Questions about this bond

Do all Florida sales tax certificate holders need this bond?

Use the Department's request for your business to determine whether security is required. This purchase page does not establish a bond requirement for every certificate holder.

Can I use this application to release an existing security deposit?

This link starts a surety bond application. A release or refund concerns security already posted and is a separate Department process, so check the purpose of your notice before applying.

How do I apply and finish the security requirement?

Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab. Review the requested applicant, form, amount and dates during the application. After issuance, follow the Department's instructions for completing and delivering the bond. The application itself does not establish that the Department has accepted the security.
