Mount Carmel liquor license bonds.
$100 flat.
The City of Mount Carmel, the Wabash County seat on the Illinois-Indiana border, requires anyone selling alcoholic liquor at retail to hold a City license, with the mayor acting as local liquor control commissioner — and a $1,000 surety bond filed as part of that application. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. The application collects no credit information, and most applicants approve instantly.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
No person may sell alcoholic liquor at retail within Mount Carmel without first obtaining a City license. The mayor serves as the local liquor control commissioner and administers state liquor laws within the city, and the City conditions the license on a $1,000 surety bond.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Mount Carmel (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. Mount Carmel liquor licenses expire December 31 each calendar year regardless of when you apply, so build that renewal date into your compliance calendar rather than assuming a one-year-from-purchase cycle.
