IA Class A beer permit bonds.
$120 flat.
An Iowa Class A beer permit — the wholesale permit to sell beer to licensed retailers — requires a $10,000 surety bond under Iowa Code chapter 123. Ours is $120 flat — the price you see is the checkout price, and the bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Iowa licenses alcohol under Iowa Code chapter 123. A Class A beer permit is the wholesale tier — it lets the holder sell beer (and high-alcoholic-content beer) at wholesale to licensed retailers and to other wholesalers. The permit requires a $10,000 surety bond.
The bond is a tax-and-compliance guarantee. It stands behind the wholesaler's payment of beer barrel tax and compliance with Iowa's alcoholic beverage laws — so the state is protected if a wholesaler fails to remit tax or violates chapter 123.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays the state, you repay the surety. Wholesalers who file and pay on time treat the bond as a permit formality — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out to keep your $10,000 filing continuous.
