What it is and who needs it.
What the fish dealer bond actually covers
Oregon's Department of Fish and Wildlife requires wholesale fish dealers and fish/shellfish canners to post a surety bond so the agency is protected against non-payment of landing fees — the per-pound fees due on commercial fish landed and sold.
The bond amount is sized to your volume: it is the total landing fees due for your three highest sales months of the previous year, with a statutory minimum of $1,000, and the Department may adjust it at its discretion. The bond should be issued to the exact business name on file.
This bond is subject to statutory renewal dates — it renews on December 31 of the term you select. If you fail to remit landing fees, ODFW can recover against the bond, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. Pricing starts from $100 and depends on your bond amount; the application collects no credit information.
