A sales and use permit bond, also called a security bond, is a financial guarantee the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts can require from certain businesses, often those in high volume retail or those late or delinquent on sales and use tax filings. Gerald Franklin Agency identifies when a bond is triggered and files the Continuous Bond of Seller so your permit stays in good standing.

What It Covers

Sales and Use Permit Bond

The bond guarantees the state that you will pay the sales and use tax you collect. The Comptroller sets the amount and may require collateral or a third party guarantee, and the rules sit under 34 Texas Administrative Code section 3.327. We confirm whether your situation triggers a bond before you file.

Who needs it

Businesses the Comptroller flags for a security bond, including high volume retailers, certain diesel equipment sellers, and owners who have fallen behind on sales and use tax.
