About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Georgia licenses distilled-spirits brokers through the Department of Revenue’s Alcohol & Tobacco Division, and conditions the license on a $2,500 surety bond. The bond is a tax-and-compliance guarantee: it stands behind your prompt payment of the taxes, license fees, and charges that come with brokering alcohol in Georgia.

It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State Revenue Commissioner (the obligee). If a broker fails to remit taxes due or otherwise violates the alcoholic beverage code, the state can recover against the bond up to $2,500.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay in force for the life of your license; we track it and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out so it never lapses.

O.C.G.A. § 3-4-22 (Dept. of Revenue)O.C.G.A. § 3-4-22 conditions a Georgia distilled-spirits broker (and dealer) license on a surety bond filed with the State Revenue Commissioner — $2,500 for the broker tax bond — guaranteeing prompt payment of taxes, license fees, rentals, penalties, and interest. The Alcohol & Tobacco Division of the Department of Revenue administers it. Confirm the amount on your application.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Georgia liquor broker bond?The premium is $100 flat, set by our carrier’s rate book for the fixed $2,500 bond amount — the same for every broker.

How is this different from the wholesaler bond?This is the $2,500 broker bond. Distilled-spirits wholesalers post a separate $5,000 performance and tax bond, also under O.C.G.A. § 3-4-22. If you’re a wholesaler, see our distilled-spirits wholesaler bond.

Do I pay the $2,500?No. You pay $100. The $2,500 is the surety’s maximum liability to the State Revenue Commissioner if you fail to pay taxes due — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information at all. Most applications like this approve instantly.

Where do I file it?With the Department of Revenue’s Alcohol & Tobacco Division, alongside your distilled-spirits broker license application. We deliver the executed bond ready to file.
