A Florida agricultural products dealer bond guarantees faithful accounting for and payment to Florida producers (and other licensed dealers) for agricultural products bought or handled under Fla. Stat. §§ 604.15–604.34.
The surety bond guarantees that the principal will perform the duties required under Fla. Stat. § 604.20 up to the penal sum.
A claim may arise if the principal fails to comply with the bonded Florida obligation or causes covered loss to the obligee or protected parties.
If a claim is valid, the surety may pay up to the bond penalty according to the bond terms; the principal remains liable to reimburse the surety.
Amount, premium, term, and the authority that requires this filing.
Dealers in agricultural products who must hold an FDACS dealer license under Chapter 604, plus related Florida ag dealer classes (citrus fruit, feed, fertilizer) that online surfaces as separate SKUs under this umbrella.
Use FDACS Form FDACS-06303 (or the current department bond form) in the exact licensed business name. Amount equals twice the maximum monthly Florida-producer volume (or estimate for new dealers), not less than $5,000 and generally not more than $100,000. Citrus fruit dealers follow § 601.61 - Department of Citrus sizing — confirm your class.
Share your license type, court order, or obligee form and the exact penal sum required by Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS).
We review credit and filing details, then quote premium options through licensed surety markets.
Once approved, we issue the bond for delivery to Commissioner of Agriculture, State of Florida or for your Florida filing package.
The amount is $5,000 minimum up to $100,000 — twice peak monthly Florida producer volume (FDACS); citrus - feed - fertilizer classes may differ — confirm before ordering, as set under Fla. Stat. § 604.20 and confirmed with Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS).
The obligee is typically Commissioner of Agriculture, State of Florida. Always match the exact name on the Florida form.
Many Florida filings can be underwritten the same day when documents and credit are complete; complex amounts may take longer.
Not always. Premium and collateral options vary by credit and bond size — ask for markets that still write the risk.
Most bonds renew on the term shown (1 Year). Keep continuity so your Florida license or filing does not lapse.
