What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
This is a tax-payment guarantee to the City of Scottsboro. It assures the city that you will remit the alcohol ordinance taxes and fees you owe — if you don't, Scottsboro can recover the unpaid amount against the bond.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Scottsboro (the obligee). The penal sum 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.
