Florida Alcohol Manufacturer Bond
Overview
Manufacturers of beer, wine, spirits, or other alcoholic beverages in Florida are required to carry this bond before they can operate legally under a state-issued license. Florida's Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco sets this requirement to protect the state against unpaid excise taxes and regulatory violations by licensed alcohol manufacturers. Buying this bond is a non-negotiable step in the licensing process — not an optional add-on. Get it here, get it fast, and move your application forward.
Who Needs This Bond?
Craft breweries, distilleries, and wineries applying for a Florida manufacturer's license all need this bond. It also applies to larger-scale alcohol producers seeking to manufacture and distribute alcoholic beverages within the state. If the Florida Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco has told you a surety bond is required as part of your manufacturer license application, this is the bond you need.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that a Florida alcohol manufacturer will comply with state laws governing the production and sale of alcoholic beverages and will pay all excise taxes owed to the state. If a manufacturer fails to pay required taxes or violates licensing conditions, the bond provides a financial remedy for the State of Florida. It is a protection for the public and the state — not for the manufacturer. Your compliance keeps the bond intact.
When is it Required?
Before your Florida alcohol manufacturer license is approved, the Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco will require proof of this bond. It is typically requested at the point of application, not after approval — meaning you need to secure the bond before you can move forward. Have your bond in hand before you submit your licensing paperwork to avoid delays.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide Florida requirement enforced by the Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco. It applies to any individual or business entity seeking a manufacturer's license anywhere in the state of Florida. There is no county-level or city-level equivalent — this is the bond that covers your Florida manufacturer license.
