About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the permit-agent bond actually covers

The Missouri Department of Conservation authorizes private retailers — bait shops, sporting-goods stores, marinas, and similar vendors — to act as permit issuing agents, selling hunting, fishing and trapping permits at the point of sale. Conservation in Missouri is administered under the constitutional authority of the Conservation Commission and Chapter 252, RSMo.

Because an agent collects state permit money before remitting it, the agency conditions the appointment on a surety bond. The bond is a financial guarantee that you will account for and pay over the permit funds you collect — if an agent keeps or mishandles that money, the Department can recover against the bond.

The bond amount is set in your permit-agent agreement with the Department of Conservation rather than by a single statutory figure, so it scales with the volume the agency expects you to handle. Enter that figure and we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check.

Chapter 252, RSMo (Department of Conservation)Missouri’s fish and game permits are administered by the Department of Conservation under Chapter 252, RSMo, and the Conservation Commission’s rules in the Code of State Regulations (3 CSR 10). Authorized permit-issuing agents collect permit funds on the state’s behalf and post a bond to guarantee those funds; the required amount is set in the agent agreement rather than a single statutory figure — confirm yours on the agreement and we’ll issue it.
