What is this bond?

A California Concessionaire Bond is a financial guarantee required for businesses operating concessions on state-owned or public property. It ensures that the concessionaire fulfills their contractual obligations, including the proper reporting and payment of fees or percentages of gross sales to the state.

Who needs it?

Businesses and vendors seeking to operate food stands, retail shops, equipment rentals, or other services on California state property typically need this bond. Because the specific entities requiring it vary, applicants should always verify their exact bonding needs with the contracting state agency.

Why is it required?

Obligees require this bond to protect the state and the public from financial loss if a vendor defaults on their concession contract. It acts as a safeguard to guarantee that all owed revenues are accurately reported and paid to the managing state agency.
