KS retail liquor store bonds.
$275. Five minutes.
Kansas requires a licensed retail liquor store to file a $2,000 bond with the Alcoholic Beverage Control Division under K.S.A. 41-317. Ours is our $275 minimum — 3% of $2,000 is $60, so the floor applies. No credit check on this bond.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Kansas licenses retail liquor stores through the Alcoholic Beverage Control Division, and conditions the license on a $2,000 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 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. Retailers who follow the Act and stay current on their taxes treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.
