About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) appoints retailers and other businesses as subagents to sell hunting, fishing, and trapping licenses and permits to the public. Under §379.3511, the commission may require each subagent to post an appropriate bond, using an insurer acceptable to the commission.

The bond is a financial guarantee that you handle license sales and the money honestly — that you account for the licenses you issue and remit the fees you collect to the FWC. It protects the commission against losses from a subagent’s misconduct, negligence, or failure to remit.

It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays the FWC on a valid claim, you repay the surety. The commission can also use blanket bonds or accept other security in lieu of an individual bond — so confirm with the FWC whether your appointment requires this $1,000 bond before you file.

Fla. Stat. §379.3511 (FWC subagents)Under Fla. Stat. §379.3511, the FWC appoints subagents to sell hunting, fishing, and trapping licenses and permits and may require each subagent to post an appropriate bond determined by the commission, using an acceptable insurer. The commission may instead purchase blanket bonds covering subagents or allow other security. The $1,000 figure is the bond amount shown on this application — confirm your appointment’s requirement with the FWC.
