How Does a New York Terminal Operator Bond Work?
A terminal operator bond creates a legal contract between these three parties:
- Principal: You, the terminal operator license applicant filing the bond
- Obligee: The State Department of Taxation and Finance requiring the bond
- Surety: The provider issuing the bond
This holds you financially responsible for upholding the provisions of Article 12-A of the Tax Law.
If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you must ultimately refund the surety.
How Do I Renew My Bond?
These bonds expire annually. To renew your terminal operator bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted.
