About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Madison beer & wine bond covers

The City of Madison licenses the retail sale of beer and wine within the city, and conditions that license on a surety bond filed with the city. The bond is a compliance-and-tax guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to follow the city alcohol ordinance and to remit any taxes and fees the license carries.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Madison (the obligee). If a retailer violates the city's alcohol rules or fails to pay what it owes the city, the city can recover against the bond up to its penal sum.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city on a claim, you repay the surety. Retailers who follow the ordinance and pay on time treat the bond as a license formality. We issue the amount the city set, priced at 1% of the bond amount with a $100 minimum; the application collects no credit information, and most applications approve instantly.
