About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the agent bond actually guarantees

When a business is authorized to sell hunting and fishing licenses for the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, it collects state money on every license and permit it issues. The sales agent bond is a financial-accountability guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to account for and pay over those funds.

Under the bond, the agent (the principal) agrees to faithfully and fully account for and pay over the funds derived from license and permit sales — typically remitted on a regular cycle — and to assume responsibility for all the licenses and permits entrusted to them. The State of Tennessee, through TWRA, is the protected party.

If an agent collects license money and fails to remit it, TWRA can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, the agent repays the surety. It is not insurance for you; it is a guarantee that the state's money reaches the state. We issue the amount TWRA requires from $100, with no credit fields in the application.
