About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Oglethorpe alcohol bond covers

The City of Oglethorpe licenses the retail sale of wine, malt beverages, and distilled spirits within the city, and conditions that license on a fixed $2,000 surety bond. The bond is a compliance-and-tax guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to follow the city alcohol ordinance and remit the taxes and fees the license carries.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Oglethorpe (the obligee). If a licensee violates the alcohol rules or fails to pay what it owes the city, the city can recover against the bond up to the $2,000 penal sum.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. Licensees who follow the ordinance and pay on time treat the bond as a license formality. We issue the fixed $2,000 bond at $275, with no credit check.
