What it is and who needs it.
What the Macon-Bibb malt & wine bond covers
Macon-Bibb County licenses the retail sale of malt beverages and wine through its Business Development Services, and conditions the license on a fixed $500 surety bond. The bond is a compliance-and-tax guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to follow the county alcohol ordinance and remit the taxes and fees the license carries.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Macon-Bibb County (the obligee). If a retailer violates the alcohol rules or fails to pay what it owes the county, the county can recover against the bond up to the $500 penal sum.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the county, you repay the surety. Retailers who follow the ordinance and pay on time treat the bond as a license formality. We issue the fixed $500 bond at $100 flat; no credit check, and most applications approve instantly.

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 $500 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.
