Florida Alcoholic Beverage Control Surety Bonds

Who needs an Alcoholic Beverage Control Surety Bond?

State and federal governments require businesses that handle the sale, manufacturing and storage of alcoholic beverages to obtain an Alcoholic Beverage Control Surety Bond.

What is the purpose of Alcoholic Beverage Control Bonds?

Alcoholic Beverage Control Bonds guarantee that all necessary taxes and fees are paid promptly and in full, as well as protect against any illegal action on behalf of the business owner, such as fraud, theft and misrepresentation, by ensuring they operate in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.

How much are Alcoholic Beverage Control Bonds written for?

There are two types of coverage this surety bond covers, each with varying bond amounts.

Federal Bond Requirement:

Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) requires a surety bond for all distillers, brewers and restaurants who owed more than $50,000 in excised taxes during the prior tax year. The bond amount can vary depending on the volume of the business. It is recommended that you consult the TTB for specific bond amounts prior to bonding.

State Bond Requirement:

Similar to the Federal requirement, individual states may require a surety bond to guarantee all taxes on alcohol are paid. Bond amounts vary by the state so make sure to contact the appropriate authority to determine before applying.

How much does an Alcoholic Beverage Control Surety Bond cost?

Pricing for Alcoholic Beverage Control Surety Bonds will vary. Premium for the bond is based on a number of factors, including:
