What it is and who needs it.
What the liquor bond actually guarantees
Macon-Bibb County licenses dealers in distilled spirits (liquor), both wholesale and retail, and conditions the license on a $1,000 surety bond. The bond is a tax-and-compliance guarantee: it stands behind the county excise tax you collect on alcohol and your compliance with the local alcoholic-beverage ordinance.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Macon-Bibb County (the obligee). If a licensee fails to remit the county’s alcohol excise tax or violates the local ordinance, the county can recover against the bond up to the $1,000 penal sum.
The bond is tied to the county’s December 31 license cycle, so it renews on that date for the term you pick. It is not insurance for you — if the county is paid on a claim, you repay the surety.

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 $1,000 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
