What the alcohol tax bond actually covers
Jefferson County levies its own taxes on alcoholic beverages, and conditions the license on a tax bond. The bond is a tax-payment guarantee: it stands behind the county alcohol and liquor taxes you collect from customers and owe to the county.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Jefferson County (the obligee). If a licensee fails to remit the county’s alcohol taxes, the county can recover the unpaid tax against the bond.
The amount is set by Jefferson County, generally based on your tax liability, so enter the figure on your county notice. Whatever amount applies, we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
