Small fixed-amount county bonds like this are among the bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with Macon-Bibb Business Development Services for your alcohol license. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
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; the application collects no credit information, and most applications approve instantly.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this bond doesn't need one.
