About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the fur dealer bond guarantees

Georgia licenses resident fur dealers through the Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division. Under O.C.G.A. 27-3-70, an applicant must post a $5,000 forfeiture bond in favor of the State of Georgia (or a cash bond in the same amount), conditioned on faithful compliance with the state's fur-dealer laws and the board's regulations.

The bond is a compliance guarantee: if a dealer violates the fur laws or DNR regulations, the Commissioner can recover on the bond for the breach. The statute provides that on a full forfeiture the dealer's license is suspended until a new bond is filed for the rest of the license period.

It is not insurance for you — if the bond is forfeited, you repay the surety. The bond runs one year, matching the license period. We issue it at our $275 minimum with no credit check.

O.C.G.A. 27-3-70O.C.G.A. 27-3-70 requires a fur dealer license applicant to post a $5,000 cash forfeiture bond in favor of the State of Georgia, or a surety bond in the same amount from a company licensed in Georgia, conditioned on compliance with the fur-dealer laws and the board's regulations. The bond term matches the one-year license period; on forfeiture the license is suspended until a replacement bond is filed, and violations carry over to succeeding bonds. Administered by DNR Wildlife Resources Division.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Georgia fur dealer bond? +
The premium is $275 — our minimum. The flat 3% rate applied to the $5,000 bond comes to $150, which falls under the $275 floor, so $275 is the price for every dealer.
Do I pay the $5,000? +
No. You pay $275. The $5,000 is the surety's maximum liability if the bond is forfeited — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
What does the bond guarantee? +
That you follow Georgia's fur-dealer laws and DNR regulations. If you violate them, the Commissioner can recover on the bond — and a full forfeiture suspends your license until you file a new bond.
Is there a credit check? +
No — the application has no credit section. Small fixed-amount license bonds like this issue without one.
How long does the bond run? +
One year, matching the license period under O.C.G.A. 27-3-70. We send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out so your license never lapses over an expired bond.
