Florida lets a Category I liquefied-petroleum-gas dealer file a $1,000,000 indemnity bond, payable to the Commissioner of Agriculture, instead of carrying liability insurance, under Ch. 527, Florida Statutes. Pricing is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum.
















A million-dollar indemnity bond goes through underwriting — here is the whole process, no broker phone tag:
Your business details, the bond amount, and an effective date. The only extra step is a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
A bond this size is underwritten — an underwriter reaches out within 48 hours if anything else is needed. The credit check is a soft pull that never affects your score.
Pay online and receive the executed bond ready to file with your LP gas dealer license application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the department insists.
Florida regulates liquefied-petroleum-gas dealers through the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services under Chapter 527, Florida Statutes. A Category I dealer is the broadest class — selling, delivering, installing, or servicing LP gas equipment — and the law requires either liability insurance or, in lieu of it, a surety bond.
When a dealer chooses the bond route, §527.02 calls for a $1,000,000 indemnity bond payable to the Commissioner of Agriculture, with a surety authorized in Florida. It is conditioned on the dealer's compliance with Chapter 527 and the department's rules, and it indemnifies persons who suffer loss or damage from the dealer's failure to comply.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Most dealers carry liability insurance and never touch the bond — but where the bond is the chosen security, we price the amount your application names at 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, with a soft credit check that never affects your score.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. A bond this size is reviewed before it issues.
