What it is and who needs it.
What the liquor permit bond actually covers
Ohio liquor permits are issued by the Division of Liquor Control under Title 43 of the Revised Code, and certain permit classes carry a surety bond. Some bonds guarantee the faithful observance of permit conditions — for example, a $1,000 bond tied to a specific permit type — while others are tax bonds that back the gallonage taxes a manufacturer or wholesaler collects and remits.
The bond protects the State of Ohio: if a permit holder violates the conditions of the permit or fails to remit the taxes the permit collects, the state can recover against the bond. Manufacturer and wholesale permit classes can carry larger bonds; many retail permits carry none at all.
Because the required amount depends entirely on your permit class, this page lets you enter the figure your permit calls for. We issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check — and if you're not sure which bond your permit requires, send it to us and we'll confirm before you pay.
