About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the permit agent bond actually covers

Florida’s hunting and fishing licenses and permits are sold through appointed license and permit agents — tax collectors, sub-agents, and authorized retailers — who collect the fees on behalf of the State and the County. Collier County administers agent appointments in its jurisdiction.

Because an agent holds public license money between the sale and the remittance, the County requires a surety bond. If the agent fails to remit, falsifies records, or otherwise misuses the funds, the County can recover against the bond.

You (the principal) post the bond, an A-rated surety stands behind it, and Collier County is the obligee. We issue the amount the County set, pricing from $100 with no credit information collected in the application.
