What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Kansas licenses wine distributors through the Alcoholic Beverage Control Division, and conditions the license on a surety bond under K.S.A. 41-317. The statute sets the amount at $5,000 or the distributor's highest monthly liquor-tax liability in the prior 12 months, whichever is greater — most wine distributors sit at the $5,000 floor.
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 the taxes you owe as a distributor.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Distributors who stay current on their taxes treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.

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 $5,000 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 the ABC. Your executed bond (form ABC-804) and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your distributor license application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $5,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
