About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the winery bond actually covers

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.

ORS 471.155 / ORS Chapter 473 (OLCC privilege tax)Under ORS 471.155(1), an OLCC winery licensee must maintain a bond with a corporate surety in a form and amount acceptable to the commission, securing license fees, privilege taxes (ORS Chapter 473), and related penalties and interest. The commission may waive the bond for a licensee not liable for privilege tax in the prior year that does not expect to be liable in the current year, absent unusual risk. Confirm your required amount on your OLCC paperwork.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Oregon winery bond? +
The premium is a flat 3% of the bond amount, with a $275 minimum. The amount itself is set by the OLCC, in a form and amount acceptable to the commission and tied to the privilege tax you owe — often around $1,000 at the low end. Enter your figure and the quote updates.
Can the OLCC waive my winery bond? +
Yes. The OLCC waives 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 qualify for the waiver, you may not need this bond at all.
What does the bond guarantee? +
It secures the license fees, privilege taxes, penalties, and interest you owe the OLCC under ORS 471.155 and ORS Chapter 473. If you don’t pay, the state can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
Is there a credit check? +
No — the winery bond is issued with no credit pull. Larger bond amounts may get a quick soft-pull review, which never affects your credit score.
What amount should I choose? +
Use the figure on your OLCC licensing paperwork. If you don’t have it yet, the smallest privilege-tax bonds typically run around $1,000 — send us your OLCC documents and we’ll confirm before issuing.
