What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Georgia licenses retail and consumption-on-premises sellers of distilled spirits through the Department of Revenue's Alcohol & Tobacco Division under the Georgia Alcoholic Beverage Code (O.C.G.A. Title 3). The license is conditioned on a $2,500 performance and tax liability bond running to the Department.
The bond guarantees the principal will promptly pay all liquor taxes, license fees, and penalties and comply with the Alcoholic Beverage Code. It protects the state and the public by giving financial recourse if the licensee fails to meet those legal and tax obligations.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the state, you repay the surety. Retailers who file and pay on time treat the $2,500 bond as a license formality. The Department of Revenue is the obligee on the standard bond form.
