What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Peoria licenses retail liquor sales locally, on top of any State of Illinois license, and its City Clerk's Office — which handles liquor licensing for the City — conditions issuance on a $10,000 surety bond. The bond stands behind the licensee's compliance with the City's liquor ordinance and licensing terms.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Peoria (the obligee), with the City and parties harmed by a licensee's non-compliance as the protected interest. If a licensee violates a bonded condition of the license, a claim can be brought against the bond up to the $10,000 penal sum.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a valid claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for the life of your license, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out to keep your filing continuous.

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 $10,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The bond runs to March 1 whatever day you buy; the premium covers the period to that date.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, March 1, 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.
