What it is and who needs it.
What the wildlife agent bond actually covers
Colorado Parks & Wildlife sells most hunting and fishing licenses through license agents — sporting-goods stores, marinas, and other retailers who issue licenses to the public. Because an agent collects state money and holds state license stock, C.R.S. 33-4-101 lets the wildlife commission’s board of claims require a surety bond as protection against future loss, theft, or destruction of licenses and failure to account.
The amount is fixed by the division based on performance criteria the commission sets by rule. By rule, a new agent files a $2,000 bond for the first year; after twelve months — or for an existing agent, based on sales history — the amount equals the dollar value of licenses sold during the highest ten consecutive days in the current bonding period. Agents may not sell beyond their bond level.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays for unaccounted-for funds or lost stock, you repay the surety. Enter the amount Parks & Wildlife set for you — pricing is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum and no credit check up to $25,000.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with Parks & Wildlife. Submit the executed bond with your license-agent agreement. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the agency insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $25,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
