Does New York require a liquor bond?

New York's SLA requires an L-9 bond as part of getting or renewing most licenses, including on-premises retail, so a bond is a genuine New York requirement — we confirm your exact class and amount with the SLA.

Who posts a bond in New York: Most SLA license classes, including on-premises retail, file an L-9 bond; distributors may also file an Article 18 tax bond. The regulator is the New York State Liquor Authority (SLA); NYS Tax & Finance for distributor bonds.

Bond amounts in New York are set by the New York State Liquor Authority (SLA); NYS Tax & Finance for distributor bonds and vary by license type — we confirm your exact requirement (and any figure) before you pay a cent.

Requirements and amounts change and vary by license class and locality — we verify your exact requirement with the state before you pay.

The coverage your GL policy leaves out

Yes, and strong — Gen. Oblig. Law 11-100/11-101. Liquor liability covers it, separately from the bond.

Your standard general-liability policy excludes alcohol claims — so a single incident can hit you with no coverage. When we handle your bond, we also line up liquor liability, property/BOP and workers' comp. The bond satisfies the state; the insurance protects your business.
