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; no credit check up to $10,000. 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.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Liquor & Cannabis Board. Submit the executed bond with your domestic winery license file. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Board insists on them.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $10,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
