Fontana, CA — Commercial Cannabis Bond
Fontana's posted Chapter 33 requires a security deposit or bond for an awarded commercial cannabis permit before operations. The City uses that security for code-enforcement or legal assistance needed to ensure compliance. Obtain the City Council-required sum and accepted undertaking for your permit; the State's DCC bond is a separate requirement.

What this bond does
Provide the City with security for code-enforcement or legal assistance needed to ensure compliance with Fontana's commercial cannabis chapter and State cannabis laws.
- Who needs it
- Selected applicants and permittees responding to Fontana's actual commercial cannabis security request. The City's published programme concerns storefront retailers with ancillary transportation and customer delivery, not every kind of cannabis operation.
- Who it protects
- Section 33-9(l) provides for City use of the deposit or bond when it needs code enforcement or legal assistance to ensure compliance. That is a local City condition, not a general customer-refund guarantee or a substitute for the State's separate undertaking.

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
Can I use the State's $5,000 figure as Fontana's requirement?
Not without the City's confirmation. Section 33-9(l) calls for the amount established by the City Council for the local security. The State bond and City fee or appeal-deposit figures do not establish that sum.
Does buying the bond put me into an open permit competition?
No. The current City page says the application and review period is complete. Confirm your actual award, permit status and security request; provider payment does not reopen applications or reserve a location.
