The City of Homewood requires a $5,000 bond to guarantee the liquor tax it collects from licensed sellers. At 3% that math lands below our floor, so it’s $275 flat — our minimum premium. The application is five minutes and this bond has no credit check.
















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 check section.
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.
$5,000 bond × 3% = $150, which is below our $275 minimum — so it’s $275 flat per term. Multi-year if you want it.
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.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn’t have one.
