The City of Homewood requires a $5,000 bond to guarantee the liquor tax it collects from licensed sellers. Ours is $100 flat — set by our carrier’s rate book for this bond; the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















License bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here’s the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That’s the application — no financials and no credit fields at all.
License bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your Homewood liquor license application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
Homewood, in Jefferson County, Alabama, imposes a municipal tax on liquor sales and conditions an alcohol license on a $5,000 bond that guarantees that tax is paid to the city.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Homewood (the obligee). If a licensee fails to remit the city’s liquor tax, Homewood can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. Sellers who keep their liquor-tax account current treat the bond as a licensing formality. The amount is fixed at $5,000 by the city; we issue it at $100 flat, and the application collects no credit information.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this bond doesn’t have one.
