About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the alcohol license bond guarantees

Putnam County, Georgia licenses the retail sale of malt beverages and wine within the unincorporated county, and conditions that license on a $300 surety bond. The bond is a guarantee that you will follow the county alcohol ordinance and pay the taxes and fees tied to the license.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Putnam County (the obligee). If you violate the county's alcohol rules or fail to remit a tax or fee tied to the license, the county can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The county license year runs on a calendar basis, so this bond carries a statutory December 31 renewal. We keep the filing continuous and notify you 60 and 30 days before it renews.
