What this bond does
Secure the estimated cost of fully abating a non-compliant industrial-hemp crop under Sacramento County Code 6.87.050(E). The required sum is tied to that estimate, rather than a fixed amount for every grower.
- Who needs it
- Growers, breeders and qualifying research applicants preparing an industrial-hemp cultivation license for unincorporated Sacramento County. A Sacramento mailing address alone does not establish that a parcel is within this licensing jurisdiction.
- Who it protects
- The Agricultural Commissioner must accept the bond securing crop abatement. The code requires 100% of the estimated full abatement cost and releases the security after the Commissioner determines it is no longer needed for that purpose. It does not describe general customer refunds, unpaid taxes or crop-loss insurance.

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 there one standard sum for every applicant?
Chapter 6.87.050(E) requires 100% of the estimated cost to fully abate a crop that cannot legally be harvested. Obtain the estimate accepted for your actual request and parcels; the code does not supply one fixed sum for all growers.
Does the County requirement apply inside Sacramento city?
The cited County cultivation programme applies to unincorporated Sacramento County. Verify the parcel's actual jurisdiction rather than relying on its mailing address or using the County rule as evidence of a city license requirement.
