A Texas sales tax bond, also known as a Continuous Bond of Seller, is required for all sellers who apply for a sales tax permit. This is mandated by Texas Administrative Code, Title 34, Part 1, Chapter 3. Applicants for a tax permit may be required to provide a bond or security that equals either $100,000 or four times their average monthly tax liability. For itinerant vendors, while a bond may also be necessary, the minimum bond amount cannot be less than $500. The obligee for the sales tax bond is the State of Texas. The bond automatically extends each year as a new obligation. 

The surety has the right to cancel the bond by making a 30-day notice in writing to the Comptroller of Public Accounts. The bond premium payment is due annually to maintain the bond. We will contact you annually prior to the due date with renewal instructions.

The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts is in charge of processing sales tax permit applications. Use the state’s online application to apply for your permit. To do so, you need to provide:
 

• Tax ID numbers for each owner or partner
• A corporation’s file number from the Texas Secretary of State
• For a corporation, the Social Security number of all officers and directors
• North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code
• Surety bond
