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.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $300 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The bond runs to December 31 whatever day you buy; the premium covers the period to that date.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, December 31, in the year your term ends.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
