About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the liquor tax bond actually covers

Nevada taxes intoxicating liquor under NRS Chapter 369, in Title 32 (Revenue and Taxation). A licensed importer, wholesaler, brewer, or winemaker furnishes a bond, payable to the State of Nevada and conditioned on payment of all excise taxes due or to become due, before the Department of Taxation approves the license.

The Department of Taxation sets the amount from your occupation and the greatest excise tax you pay or are estimated to pay — there is no single statutory figure, so it is sized to your liquor volume. We issue whatever amount your notice names, with pricing from $100 and no credit information collected in the application.

The bond stands behind the liquor tax you collect or owe — if you fail to remit, the state can recover against it, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. Licensees with five consecutive years of a satisfactory payment record may apply to the Department for an exemption from the bond entirely.
