The Oregon Liquor & Cannabis Commission (OLCC) conditions a winery license on a privilege-tax bond under ORS 471.155 — security that you’ll pay the privilege tax and fees you owe on the wine you make or ship. The OLCC sets the amount; we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
















No underwriting queue for the standard winery bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the OLCC. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount the OLCC required, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
No credit check and no waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
Submit the executed bond with your winery license application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the OLCC insists.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. Enter the figure on your OLCC paperwork and the premium updates.
Oregon assesses a privilege tax on the privilege of making wine in Oregon, or shipping or importing wine into Oregon, under ORS Chapter 473. A winery licensed by the OLCC must file a bond under ORS 471.155 that secures the license fees, privilege taxes, penalties, and interest it owes.
ORS 471.155 says the bond must be in a form and amount acceptable to the commission — the OLCC sets the figure on your licensing paperwork, generally in proportion to the privilege tax you expect to owe. In practice the smallest privilege-tax bonds run around $1,000.
The OLCC can waive the bond for a winery that was not liable for a privilege tax in the prior year and does not expect to be in the current year, unless it presents an unusual risk of nonpayment. If you do need one, enter the amount the OLCC named and we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
Submit the application with the bond amount the OLCC required — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
