What it is and who needs it.
What the brewpub bond actually guarantees
When Mississippi legalized small craft breweries and brewpubs, the law conditioned the permit on a brewer tax bond filed with the Department of Revenue. The bond guarantees faithful payment of the beer and light wine excise tax you owe, plus compliance with the Department's conditions.
The amount runs from a $5,000 floor up to $200,000, set by the Department of Revenue and capped at the excise tax owed for a 60-day period. Most new and small brewers land at or near the $5,000 floor — which is the amount on this page.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Department of Revenue (the obligee). If you fail to remit the tax you collect, the state can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. It is not insurance for you.

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
