About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the non-beverage user bond covers

A non-beverage user license lets a business use alcohol for purposes other than drinking — manufacturing, processing, flavoring, or scientific work. Kansas conditions that license on a surety bond under K.S.A. 41-317, filed with the Alcoholic Beverage Control Division.

Unlike most liquor bonds, the amount is not a single figure — it is tiered by class: $200 for Class 1, $500 for Class 2, $1,000 for Class 3, $5,000 for Class 4, and $10,000 for Class 5. Your class reflects the volume and type of alcohol you handle. Enter the amount your class requires and we issue it.

It is not insurance for you — the bond is conditioned on your compliance with the Kansas Liquor Control Act and the payment of any tax you owe. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We write whatever class amount applies at a price from $100; no credit check up to $10,000.

K.S.A. 41-317 (non-beverage user)K.S.A. 41-317 requires a non-beverage user applicant to file a bond with the application, conditioned on compliance with the Kansas Liquor Control Act. The amount is tiered by class — $200 for Class 1, $500 for Class 2, $1,000 for Class 3, $5,000 for Class 4, and $10,000 for Class 5. The bond is filed with the Alcoholic Beverage Control Division on form ABC-804 (or an ABC-803 escrow bond). Confirm your class amount with the ABC.

After you buy

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 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.

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 the ABC. Submit the executed bond (form ABC-804) with your non-beverage user license application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists on them.

What sets the price

The premium is 5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.

No credit check up to $10,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.

Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
