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.
