What it is and who needs it.
What the liquor tax bond actually covers
Nevada taxes intoxicating liquor under NRS Chapter 369, in Title 32 (Revenue and Taxation). A licensed importer, wholesaler, brewer, or winemaker furnishes a bond, payable to the State of Nevada and conditioned on payment of all excise taxes due or to become due, before the Department of Taxation approves the license.
The Department of Taxation sets the amount from your occupation and the greatest excise tax you pay or are estimated to pay — there is no single statutory figure, so it is sized to your liquor volume. We issue whatever amount your notice names, with pricing from $100 and no credit check up to $10,000 in the application.
The bond stands behind the liquor tax you collect or owe — if you fail to remit, the state can recover against it, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. Licensees with five consecutive years of a satisfactory payment record may apply to the Department for an exemption from the bond entirely.

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 Department of Taxation. Submit the executed bond with your liquor license application or renewal. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Department insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% 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.
