What it is and who needs it.
What the forfeiture bond covers
Georgia’s Department of Natural Resources issues a nonresident commercial trapping license under O.C.G.A. 27-3-61. A nonresident applicant must post a $2,500 forfeiture bond in favor of the State, conditioned on faithful compliance with Georgia’s laws and the board’s regulations governing trappers and trapping.
It is a forfeiture bond, not a typical license bond: the Commissioner can recover stated amounts against it for violations — commonly $500 for a first violation, $1,000 for a second, and up to $2,500 for a third or subsequent within a two-year period. The bond term is one year and corresponds to the license period.
It is not insurance for you — if the state recovers on the bond for a violation, you repay the surety. Trappers who follow the rules treat the bond as a licensing formality, not a risk.
