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.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
