What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Georgia’s Alcoholic Beverage Code conditions a distilled spirits wholesaler (or manufacturer) license on a performance and tax liability bond filed with the Department of Revenue Alcohol & Tobacco Division. The standard wholesaler tax bond amount is $5,000 under O.C.G.A. 3-4-22.
The bond guarantees prompt payment of the excise taxes, license fees, penalties, and interest you owe on the spirits you handle. It runs to the benefit of the State Revenue Commissioner: if a licensee fails to remit what it owes, the state can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the state on your behalf, you repay the surety. Wholesalers who file and pay on time treat the bond as a licensing formality, not a risk.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $5,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The bond runs to December 31 whatever day you buy; the premium covers the period to that date.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, December 31, in the year your term ends.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
