What it is and who needs it.
What the alcoholic beverage bond actually covers
North Carolina regulates alcohol sales through the state ABC Commission, with local ABC boards — including Mecklenburg County ABC in the Charlotte area — administering the system at the county level. Permit holders who collect or owe alcohol taxes may be required to post a surety bond as a financial guarantee for those taxes and charges.
The bond is a payment guarantee: it backs the alcohol taxes, fees, and charges owed in connection with your permitted sales. It runs to the benefit of the taxing authority, so the public is protected if a permit holder fails to remit what it owes.
It is a guarantee, not insurance for you: if you fail to pay the taxes and charges the bond backs, the authority can recover against it, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. The required amount is set on your permit — confirm it before you file.
