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.
