The North Dakota Pari-Mutuel Horse Racing License Bond is required by the North Dakota Racing Commission. The bond states that the bondholder should file all reports required by the North Dakota Racing Commission and shall make full payment of any attributable amounts of the pari-mutuel pool, operations salaries, wages, benefits, taxes, North Dakota Breeders, Purse and Promotion Funds. In order to find out the cost of the surety bond, all we need is the completed application. The amount must be in the amount the commission determines will adequately protect the amount normally due and owing to this state in the regular payment period, or in the case of new or altered conditions, based on the projected venues.

The applicant, aside from the completed application form and surety bond, shall submit such information as required by the commission which must include, but not be limited to:
