What this bond does
The bond provides security for the tax-payment obligation in your written request. The exact tax type matters: a financial responsibility form for another Illinois tax is not evidence that you need a sales tax bond.
- Who needs it
- Businesses with an Illinois sales tax bond request that identifies the taxpayer, accepting authority and required security.
- Who it protects
- The bond secures the obligation to the taxing authority specified in the required form. It does not replace the taxpayer's returns or payment duties.

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 an Illinois sales tax registration enough reason to buy this?
Start with an actual bond request. A sales tax registration alone does not establish which bond form or amount your business needs.
Can I use this for Cook County use tax?
Compare the separate Cook County Home Rule County Use Tax Bond when the county is requesting that obligation. An Illinois state tax bond and a county use tax bond should not be assumed interchangeable.
Where does Purchase Now take me?
It opens Propeller in a new tab. Review the tax type, taxpayer, form, amount and dates during the application. After issuance, follow the requesting office's execution and delivery instructions. Applying does not complete your tax registration or establish acceptance of the bond.
