About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the winery bond actually covers

Washington licenses domestic wineries through the Liquor and Cannabis Board under Title 66 RCW. A domestic winery owes wine liter taxes on the wine it sells, and the Board can require a surety bond as a guarantee that those taxes are paid.

Most wineries pay their taxes on time and the Board does not call for a bond. When it does — often after a late report, an unpaid tax balance, or as a condition tied to a licensee's circumstances — the bond stands behind the liter tax. If you fail to remit, the state can recover against it.

Because the amount is set by the Board for your situation rather than fixed by a single statewide figure, enter the amount on your notice to start the application. Pricing is 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum; the application collects no credit information at the standard amount. If the Board has told you it will accept some other form of security, send us the notice — a surety bond is usually cheaper than tying up cash.

Title 66 RCW (Liquor & Cannabis Board)Washington domestic wineries are licensed by the Liquor and Cannabis Board under Title 66 RCW. RCW 66.24.210 imposes the wine tax and provides that the board may require a person to execute and file with the board a bond, in such amount as the board may fix, securing payment of the tax. The amount is set by the Board for the licensee's circumstances; confirm the figure on the notice you received.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Washington domestic winery bond?Pricing starts from $100 and depends on the bond amount the Board set plus your applicant profile. The amount itself is set by the Liquor and Cannabis Board, generally tied to the wine liter taxes you owe. Enter the figure on your notice and your exact price appears at the application.
Does every winery need this bond?No. Most domestic wineries never post one. The Liquor and Cannabis Board requires a bond mainly as security for taxes — for example after a late report or an unpaid liter-tax balance.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information at the standard amount, and most applications approve instantly.
Can I use savings instead of a bond?RCW 66.24.210 provides for a bond securing payment of the tax; whether the Board will take another form of security in its place is a question for the Board. Ask them, and send us what they tell you — a surety bond is usually cheaper than tying up the full amount in cash.
Where do I file it?With the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board, alongside your domestic winery license file. We issue the executed bond ready to submit.
