GA liquor broker bonds.
$275. Five minutes.
Georgia conditions a distilled-spirits broker license on a fixed $2,500 bond filed with the Department of Revenue’s Alcohol & Tobacco Division. Ours is $275 flat — the minimum, since 3% of $2,500 is below it — and the application is five minutes.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Georgia licenses distilled-spirits brokers through the Department of Revenue’s Alcohol & Tobacco Division, and conditions the license on a $2,500 surety bond. The bond is a tax-and-compliance guarantee: it stands behind your prompt payment of the taxes, license fees, and charges that come with brokering alcohol in Georgia.
It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State Revenue Commissioner (the obligee). If a broker fails to remit taxes due or otherwise violates the alcoholic beverage code, the state can recover against the bond up to $2,500.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay in force for the life of your license; we track it and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out so it never lapses.
