What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Georgia licenses distilled-spirits wholesalers through the Department of Revenue’s Alcohol & Tobacco Division, and conditions the license on a $5,000 performance and tax liability bond. The bond is a tax-and-compliance guarantee: it stands behind prompt payment of all monies due the Department — taxes, license fees, rentals, penalties, and interest — plus the state’s collection costs.
It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State Revenue Commissioner (the obligee). If a wholesaler fails to remit taxes due or otherwise violates the alcoholic beverage code, the state can recover against the bond up to $5,000.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Many DOR alcohol bonds run to a fixed December 31 expiration and must be renewed for the next calendar year; we track yours and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.
