What this bond does

The offering concerns alcoholic beverage tax security, not general liquor retail licensing.

Who it protects
The bond secures the obligation owed to the recipient named in the accepted form. It does not provide liquor liability insurance for claims against your business.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Details to check before you apply

Identify the tax account, beverage activity and requested amount from the notice. Do not use an alcohol sales license number as a substitute when the request names a separate tax account.

Select Purchase Now to continue to the provider in a new tab. Complete the application there. After issuance, review the bond and deliver it using the recipient’s instructions. Buying a bond does not grant or renew an alcohol license.

Sources

Have these ready

  1. Have the legal applicant name and recipient’s written bond request ready. The provider will identify any additional application requirements.
  2. Match the amount and period to the written request. This page does not specify a fixed amount or term for the provider application.
  3. Keep the recipient’s contact and delivery instructions available for checking the issued bond.

Questions about this bond

Does buying this complete tax registration?

No. Bond application, issuance, filing and tax registration are separate steps. Follow the tax authority’s directions for your account.

Does this bond include liquor liability insurance?

No. The surety bond secures the obligation described in its form. Liquor liability coverage addresses a different risk and must be arranged separately.

How do I apply through The Southern Agency?

Use Purchase Now for the linked provider application. Check the business name, requested form and recipient before completing it. Once the bond is issued, follow the recipient’s filing directions; licensing approval is a separate step.
