What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Iowa licenses alcohol under Iowa Code chapter 123. A Class A wine permit is the wholesale tier for wine, and a Class A native wine permit covers an Iowa native-wine manufacturer selling to liquor-control licensees. Both require a $5,000 surety bond before wholesale sales.
The bond is a tax-and-compliance guarantee. It stands behind the wholesaler's payment of the Iowa wine gallonage tax and compliance with chapter 123 — protecting the state if a permittee fails to remit tax or violates the alcoholic beverage laws.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays the state, you repay the surety. Permittees who file and pay on time treat the bond as a formality — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out to keep your $5,000 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 $5,000 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
File with your wine permit. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your Class A (or native) wine permit application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $5,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
