About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Kansas licenses liquor manufacturers through the Alcoholic Beverage Control Division of the Department of Revenue, and conditions the license on a $25,000 surety bond under K.S.A. 41-317. The bond is filed on form ABC-804 and runs to the State of Kansas.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Kansas (the obligee). The bond is conditioned on your compliance with the Kansas Liquor Control Act and the payment of any tax, penalty, or interest you owe under it.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Manufacturers who stay current on their liquor taxes and follow the Act treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.

K.S.A. 41-317 (form ABC-804)K.S.A. 41-317 requires a manufacturer applicant to file a bond with the application, in an amount the statute sets at $25,000 for a manufacturer, executed by corporate sureties licensed in Kansas and conditioned on compliance with the Kansas Liquor Control Act. The surety bond is filed with the Alcoholic Beverage Control Division on form ABC-804 (or an ABC-803 escrow bond). Confirm the amount on your application.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

Do I pay the $25,000? +
No. You pay $750 — the flat 3% of the bond amount. The $25,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the state; it's not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Who requires this bond? +
The Alcoholic Beverage Control Division of the Kansas Department of Revenue requires it as a condition of a manufacturer license, under K.S.A. 41-317. No active bond, no license.
What does the bond guarantee? +
That you comply with the Kansas Liquor Control Act and pay the liquor taxes you owe. If you fail to and the state or a harmed party recovers, the bond responds — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
Is there a credit check? +
Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. It informs approval, not price. The rate is a flat 3% either way: credit can affect whether we approve the bond, never what it costs.
When does it renew? +
Terms run 1, 2, or 3 years — your choice at purchase. You'll get renewal notices 60 and 30 days before expiration, with autopay available, and the bond must stay active for your manufacturer license to stay valid.
