What Is a Liquor License Bond?

A Liquor License Bond is a type of surety bond required by the Village of Atkinson for businesses involved in the sale or service of alcohol. This bond guarantees that the business will:

• Adhere to all local, state, and federal liquor laws.

• Pay all required taxes and fees associated with alcohol sales.

• Conduct operations responsibly to minimize risks to the public.

Why Does Atkinson Require This Bond?

The Village of Atkinson enforces this bond requirement to:

• Ensure Compliance: Confirm that businesses follow all applicable liquor laws and licensing regulations.

• Protect the Public: Provide financial recourse for violations, such as underage sales or failure to remit taxes.

• Safeguard Village Interests: Reduce financial risks associated with noncompliance by bonded businesses.

Who Needs a Village Liquor License Bond?

The bond is typically required for:

• Restaurants, bars, and taverns that serve alcohol.

• Retail stores selling packaged alcoholic beverages.

• Any business applying for a liquor license in the Village of Atkinson.

How Does the Bond Work?

A Liquor License Bond involves three parties:

1. Principal: The business applying for the liquor license.

2. Obligee: The Village of Atkinson requiring the bond.

3. Surety: The bonding company guaranteeing the principal’s compliance with liquor laws.

If the business fails to meet its legal obligations or violates the terms of its liquor license, the obligee can file a claim against the bond. The surety will cover valid claims up to the bond amount but will seek reimbursement from the principal.
