Who needs this bond? Anyone who is not a resident of Georgia who would like to trap wildlife needs a $2,500 Non-Resident Trapper Forfeiture Bond. Those who buy and/or sell furs in Georgia will need a $5,000 Fur Dealer Forfeiture Bond.

With Jet, the cost for either bond starts at $10 a month or $100 for a year. Most will qualify for those rates, but we do have to do some underwriting on this bond, but that only takes a second automatically online. There are multi-year options available at a discounted rate of $175 for two years and $250 for three.

The Wildlife Resources Division of the Department of Natural Resources oversees wildlife for one million acres of land and over one hundred Wildlife Management Areas. Part of their oversight involves the regulation of fur trappers and dealers set in place by the Rules and Regulations of the State of Georgia.

The forfeiture surety bond is required as a safeguard to the State should a trapper or dealer not pay their fines. The surety carrier, Jet, will then make payment to the State.

How Do I Cancel My Non-Resident Trapper and Fur Dealer Bond?

If you’d like to cancel your bond with us, email us at [email protected]. If you pay the yearly premium, you may be entitled to a prorated refund based on your bond's start date. 

Both trappers and dealer bonds have a cancellation period of 30 days to allow for any violations or complaints to come forward after the bond cancellation notice is received by the Department of Natural Resources, just in case someone gets fined as they go out of business.

How Do I Renew These Bonds?

The Non-Resident Trapper and Fur Dealer Bonds both expire on an annual basis on March 31st. We will send you an email before that renewal date comes up to remind you that it is time to renew your bond. All you need to do is make payment and Jet will notify the Department of Natural Resources that the bond has been renewed. For those making monthly payments, it is the same deal, make all your payments and we take care of the rest.

How Does a Principal Avoid Bond Claims on Georgia Non-Resident Trapper and Fur Dealer Forfeiture Bonds?

There will never be an issue with Non-Resident Trapper and Fur Dealer Bond claims if you follow the Department of Natural Resources laws. It’s that simple.

Any violations committed can result in a slew of penalties including fines you need to pay to the Department. Should you not pay your fine, then the Department will notify Jet and potentially forfeit your license. Jet will verify the validity of that claim (by asking you if you paid it) and if valid make payment to the State.

The story of unpaid violations doesn’t end there. Surety bonds are different from insurance in many ways including the indemnification of the surety company—this means the debt paid by the surety company is not forgiven. The trapper or dealer will still owe the surety for the total amount paid out.

Violations can begin to stack if they occur within two years of the most recent charge. Violations recorded while your bond is active will also roll over into any future bonds filed. See how violations can stack up in our chart below.
