Florida Hunting and Fishing License Agent Bond

Florida Hunting and Fishing License Agent Bond

Sports retailers, bait-and-tackle shops, or other third parties authorized to issue hunting, game, and/or fishing licenses need to file a Hunting and Fishing License Agent Bond, aka the Selling of Game and Fishing licenses Bond, with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

The bond’s purpose is to protect the Commission against a licensed agent (sometimes called a sub-agent) from taking money without fulfilling the issuance of licenses or submitting owed money to the Commission.

How to Renew the Florida Fish and Game License and Permit Agent Bond

Renewing your Hunting/Fishing Agent Bond will often require a continuation certificate. Jet will send you a renewal notice through the mail and through email. Once you pay for your renewal, Jet will get your continuation certificate ready and mail it to you—or, if allowed, directly to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) or the county. 

To renew bonds filed with counties where a continuation certificate isn’t required, the process is even easier. All you need to do is submit payment for your renewal and that’s that! 

For those doing monthly payments, you don’t even have to worry about renewal paperwork. As long as your payments are able to be processed, Jet will keep your bond active. If you are required to submit a continuation certificate, Jet will send one to you on the anniversary of your bond issuance. 

Cancelling a Hunting/Fishing/Game Sub-Agent Bond

If you need to cancel your Hunting and Fishing Agent Bond, send Jet an email at [email protected]. The cancellation process will depend on who holds your bond. Typically, the bond will remain in effect until cancellation is requested by Jet as the surety company. Jet would only petition for cancellation at your request or for nonpayment. 

When the County Tax Collector or the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission receives a notice of cancellation, a 30-day cancellation period will begin; the exception to this is Alachua County, which has a 60-day cancellation period.
