What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Momence conditions its local retail liquor license on a $1,000 surety bond, filed with the City Clerk's office alongside the license application. The mayor serves as local liquor control commissioner and administers state and City liquor laws within Momence.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Momence (the obligee), with the City and the public interest the liquor ordinance protects as the beneficiaries. If a licensee fails to comply with the terms of the license, the City can draw on the bond up to the $1,000 penal sum.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Illinois liquor licenses commonly run on a calendar-year cycle regardless of when you apply, so confirm your renewal date with the City Clerk and build it into your compliance calendar.

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 $1,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it

What sets the price
