About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A municipal alcohol tax bond is a tax-payment guarantee to the city. The City of Hamilton taxes or charges a fee on alcohol sales under its ordinance and wants a financial backstop that a licensed seller remits what it owes.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Hamilton (the obligee). If a seller fails to remit the city's alcohol tax or fee, the city can recover against the bond up to its amount.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. Remit on time and the bond simply satisfies the city's licensing condition.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the City of Hamilton alcohol tax bond? ▾

The bond is priced at 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, and your exact price appears at the 60-second application. The amount itself is set by the City of Hamilton for its alcohol ordinance tax or fee. Enter that figure at the application.

Do I pay the full bond amount? ▾

No. The premium starts at $100 and is a small fraction of the bond amount, which is the surety's maximum liability if you fail to remit the city's alcohol tax — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

How fast will I have the bond? ▾

The standard municipal alcohol tax bond issues right after payment — many sellers finish the application and have the executed bond in the same sitting. Larger amounts may get a quick review.

Is there a credit check? ▾

No hard credit pull. Larger bond amounts may get a quick soft-pull review, which never affects your credit score.

Where do I file it? ▾

With the City of Hamilton, alongside your alcohol license. We issue the executed bond ready to submit so the city can issue or renew your license.
