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 $275, with no credit check.
