What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Kansas conditions a liquor license — for farm wineries and several other licensee classes — on a $2,000 bond filed with the Department of Revenue's Alcoholic Beverage Control division. The bond is a tax-and-compliance guarantee: it stands behind the liquor taxes you owe the state and your compliance with the liquor control act.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Kansas (the obligee). If a licensee fails to pay the taxes due or violates the liquor laws, the state can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
Kansas lets you satisfy the requirement with an escrow bond (ABC-803), a surety bond (ABC-804), or cash. A surety bond is usually cheapest — you pay the premium rather than tying up $2,000 in cash. The bond must stay active for the life of your license, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out.

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 $2,000 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 license. Your executed bond (form ABC-804) and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your Alcoholic Beverage Control license application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $2,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
