Who Needs This Bond?
Any business conducting commercial cannabis operations within the City of Coalinga — cultivation, processing, extraction, manufacturing, testing, or distribution — needs this $25,000 bond to obtain the city's conditional use permit and regulatory permit. This city bond is required in addition to, not instead of, the $5,000 state bond required by California's Department of Cannabis Control; a Coalinga operator needs both.
Why California Requires This Bond
The City of Coalinga requires businesses conducting commercial cannabis operations within the city to post a $25,000 surety bond as a condition of obtaining their conditional use permit and regulatory permit. Coalinga was one of the earliest California cities to authorize commercial cannabis, and the bond is part of the local framework that lets the city permit these operations while protecting public funds. It applies across the commercial cannabis chain — cultivation, processing, extraction, manufacturing, testing, and distribution — for operators inside city limits.
The bond protects the City of Coalinga and the public, not the operator. If a permitted cannabis business violates the city's ordinance and the city incurs costs as a result, the city can file a claim against the bond, and the surety pays valid claims up to the $25,000 amount. The operator must then reimburse the surety in full. This city bond is separate from and in addition to the $5,000 surety bond that California's Department of Cannabis Control requires at the state level — a Coalinga operator needs both.
The requirement comes from City of Coalinga Municipal Code — commercial cannabis ordinance (confirm exact section); framework MAUCRSA (Bus. & Prof. Code Section 26000 et seq.).
The $25,000 bond amount is the coverage guaranteed to City of Coalinga — it is not a cost to you. What you pay is the premium, the flat $250.

Why is this bond $25,000 when other California cannabis bonds are $5,000?
The City of Coalinga sets its own local requirement, and it's one of the highest in the state at $25,000. That's separate from the $5,000 the state requires — Coalinga's amount reflects how its local commercial cannabis program is structured.
Is this the same as the California state cannabis bond?
No. This is the City of Coalinga's local bond. It's separate from and in addition to the $5,000 bond the state Department of Cannabis Control requires. A Coalinga operator needs both.
Who requires this bond?
The City of Coalinga, as a condition of the conditional use permit and regulatory permit needed to run commercial cannabis operations within city limits.
Do I need a credit check?
No. This bond is issued at a flat $250 with no application, no credit check, and no underwriting. It's emailed to you once issued — turnaround is quick, though not always same-minute instant.
Which cannabis operations does it cover?
Commercial cannabis activity within Coalinga — cultivation, processing, extraction, manufacturing, testing, and distribution. If you're operating in any of these within city limits, the bond applies.
What does the bond guarantee?
That the operator will comply with the City of Coalinga's commercial cannabis ordinance. If a violation causes the city to incur costs, the city can claim against the bond up to $25,000, and the operator reimburses the surety.

It's tied to your Coalinga cannabis permit period and must be maintained for as long as you hold the permit. You renew it alongside the permit; a lapse puts your city permit out of compliance.
