About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Homewood liquor tax bond guarantees

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 our $275 minimum with no credit check.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

How much is the City of Homewood liquor tax bond? +
The premium is $275 — our minimum. A flat 3% of the $5,000 bond would be $150, which is below our floor, so it’s $275. The $5,000 amount is set by the city, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $5,000? +
No. You pay $275. The $5,000 is the surety’s maximum liability to the city if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond? +
License bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many sellers finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount license bonds like this one don’t need one.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the liquor license. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your license never lapses over a missed email.
