What Is a Georgia Liquor Bond?

The Georgia Liquor Bond is a $2,500 to $10,000 surety bond required by the Georgia Department of Revenue for many alcohol licensees, and each license type has its own bond. You may also see it called the Georgia Alcohol Bond or the Georgia Alcohol Tax Bond.

Who Needs the Bond?

You need this bond if you’re applying for a new Georgia alcohol license that requires one, or renewing your license for the next license year.

Why Is the Bond Required?

The bond protects the State of Georgia from unpaid alcohol taxes, license fees, penalties and interest, and it shows that you meet the Georgia Department of Revenue’s bonding requirements.

How Much Does the Bond Cost?

The premium starts as low as $100 for one year, or as low as $120 for the $10,000 distillery bond. For the seven Instant Issue bonds, the portal displays your final bond information and premium due before you complete payment. For the retail liquor, brewpub and malt beverage bonds, our team reviews your standard bond application and contacts you with your premium.
