What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
This is a tax-payment guarantee to the City of Reform. It assures the city that you will remit the alcohol taxes and fees you owe under the city's ordinance — if you don't, Reform can recover the unpaid amount against the bond.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Reform (the obligee). The $10,000 is the surety's maximum exposure, not a deposit — nobody holds your cash.
The bond must stay active while you hold the city alcohol license. If it lapses your license can be suspended, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out to keep your filing continuous.
