Georgia Resident Fur Dealer Forfeiture Bond
Overview
Get bonded as a Georgia resident fur dealer and demonstrate to the state that you are financially accountable before you buy or sell raw furs. This forfeiture bond protects the state of Georgia by guaranteeing that licensed fur dealers operate within the rules set for the trade. Without it, your resident fur dealer license application will not move forward.
Who Needs This Bond?
Resident fur dealers operating in Georgia are the applicants for this bond. If you live in Georgia and you purchase, collect, or trade in raw furs from trappers or hunters, the state requires you to post this bond as a condition of licensure. This applies whether you run a full-time fur buying operation or purchase furs on a seasonal basis.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that you, as a licensed Georgia resident fur dealer, will comply with all applicable state regulations governing the purchase and handling of furs. It functions as a forfeiture mechanism — if you violate the terms of your license, the bond can be called to cover damages or penalties owed to the state. It is not liability insurance; it is a financial guarantee of lawful conduct.
When is it Required?
Applying for your Georgia resident fur dealer license is the moment this bond becomes mandatory. Before the state issues your license, you must have this bond in place. Attempting to buy or sell raw furs without completing this requirement puts you at risk of operating unlicensed, which carries its own consequences under Georgia wildlife regulations.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide Georgia requirement and applies to resident fur dealers conducting business anywhere in Georgia. It is issued under the authority of the state of Georgia and is not tied to any single county or municipality. Your license and bond together authorize you to operate throughout the state.
