Before the Town of Carrollton signs off on your state ABC alcoholic beverage license, it wants a $10,000 bond guaranteeing you pay the Town the taxes and fees its alcohol ordinance imposes. Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount — and there is no credit check on this one.
















This is the simplest kind of bond in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. No financials, no credit check section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Small fixed alcohol bonds like this are among the thousands that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the Town of Carrollton clerk for ABC license approval. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
Alabama licenses the sale of alcohol through the state ABC Board, but a municipality must approve the license before the state issues it. The Town of Carrollton conditions that approval on a $10,000 surety bond standing behind the taxes and fees its alcohol ordinance imposes on licensees.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Carrollton (the obligee). If you fail to remit the alcohol taxes or fees the Town's ordinance requires, the Town can recover against the bond up to $10,000.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the Town, you repay the surety. Keep your Town alcohol taxes current and the bond is simply a licensing formality you renew alongside your ABC license.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
