Indiana — Other Tobacco Products Distributor's License Bond
Indiana posts OTP-902 for the Other Tobacco Products distributor's licensing security. Prepare the legal licensee, DOR account, required sum and continuing effective date before applying. OTP-902 has different surety-cancellation and principal-replacement triggers, so an existing filing should not simply be allowed to lapse.

What this bond does
The bond serves as a financial guarantee that the licensed distributor will pay all required license taxes, fees, penalties, and interest to the state of Indiana. It protects the Indiana Department of Revenue by ensuring the principal fulfills the obligations established by Indiana Code 6-7-2-8.
- Who needs it
- The actual Indiana Other Tobacco Products distributor named in the OTP-1A license application and DOR tax account. Use OTP-902 for this undertaking rather than the separate cigarette registration or open-system electronic-cigarette forms.
- Who it protects
- OTP-902 runs to Indiana for all license fees, license taxes, penalties and interest, plus performance of all duties, obligations and liabilities under the Tobacco Products Tax Law and incorporated amendments/regulations. It is continuing, and liability for earlier acts or omissions survives cancellation. State leniency or arrangements for delinquent amounts do not release or reduce surety liability.

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
Who is protected by this bond?
This bond protects the State of Indiana and the Indiana Department of Revenue, ensuring that all tobacco-related taxes and fees are paid.
Is this a one-time bond?
OTP-902 is continuing from its effective date until terminated through its stated procedures or replaced as required. Do not assume a license cancellation alone completes surety cancellation. Keep the required security in place while the license remains active.
Can I cancel my bond at any time?
Use the form's procedure. Principal-initiated replacement requires filing a new bond with the Division and written notice to the surety; that cancellation takes effect when the Division receives the replacement. The separate surety-initiated route has a sixty-day Division-receipt period unless a new bond is approved earlier. Earlier liability remains.
What happens if I fail to pay tobacco taxes?
The surety is liable for the payment of taxes, penalties, and interest owed by the principal under the Tobacco Products Tax Law.
