About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A city alcohol license bond is a compliance-and-tax guarantee. The City of Forsyth conditions a malt beverage pouring license on this bond so there is a financial backstop that you will follow the city's alcohol beverage ordinance and pay the local alcohol taxes and license fees you collect or owe.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Forsyth (the obligee). If you violate the city alcohol ordinance or fail to remit local alcohol taxes, the city can recover against the bond up to the $1,000 penal sum.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Bars and restaurants that follow the ordinance and remit their taxes treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Forsyth malt beverage pouring bond? ▾

It is $100 flat. The bond amount is $1,000, and our carrier prices this specific bond at $100 — same number for every licensee, the price you see is the checkout price.

Do I pay the $1,000? ▾

No. You pay $100. The $1,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the City of Forsyth if you violate the alcohol ordinance or fail to remit local alcohol taxes — it is not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

What's the difference between the pouring and package beer bonds? ▾

A pouring license covers beer served by the drink for on-premises consumption (a bar or restaurant). A package license covers beer sold by the package for off-premises consumption (a store). The City of Forsyth requires a separate bond for each — see the malt beverage package page if you sell to-go.

Is there a credit check? ▾

The application collects no credit information at all. Most applications like this approve instantly; if a check ever runs, it's a soft pull that won't affect your score.

Where do I file it? ▾

With the City of Forsyth licensing office, as a condition of your malt beverage pouring license. We issue the executed bond and power of attorney ready to file.
