Florida fertilizer dealer bonds.
$100 flat.
Florida requires a fertilizer dealer to file a $1,000 bond with the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services under Chapter 576 — it backs honest reporting of the tonnage you sell and the per-ton fees you owe. Ours is $100 flat, set by our carrier for this bond, the same for everyone. A quick soft credit check may apply, e-signed in 1–2 business days.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Florida regulates fertilizer through Chapter 576, administered by the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Dealers report the tonnage of fertilizer they sell and pay a per-ton inspection fee — the $1,000 bond stands behind those reports and payments.
The bond assures FDACS that a dealer will make true and full reports of the tonnage sold and pay the per-ton fee required by the chapter. If a dealer underreports or fails to pay, the state can recover against the bond — up to its $1,000 face amount.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. At $1,000 the bond is small, and our price is $100 flat, but the filing is a real condition of holding the dealer license.
