A liquor license bond (also called an alcohol or liquor tax bond) is a license bond many states and cities require to issue or renew a license to sell alcoholic beverages. It guarantees the licensee will pay applicable alcohol taxes and follow the laws governing alcohol sales.
The required amount and form are set by your state's ABC board or local authority — commonly $1,000 to $15,000 — and the premium is usually a small percentage of that amount based on credit. We place liquor bonds nationwide on the correct obligee form.
