How Does a Colorado Cigarette Tax Bond Work? 

As with all surety bonds, a cigarette tax bond creates a legal contract between three parties: 

  1. Principal: You, the wholesale cigarette dealer filing the bond
  2. Obligee: The Colorado DOR, Excise Tax Accounting Section requiring the bond
  3. Surety: The provider issuing the bond

This holds you financially responsible for upholding the provisions of Colorado Statutes § 39-28-101. 

If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you are ultimately responsible for refunding the surety. 

How Do I Renew My Bond?

These bonds expire annually. To renew your cigarette tax bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted. 

We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
