How much does an agricultural product dealer bond cost in Georgia?
The Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture requires agricultural products dealers to post surety bonds to legally work within the state. The required bond amount is based on two factors: the type of agricultural products the applicant handles and the volume of annual business he or she conducts. Applicants should verify their required bond amount with the state prior to bonding.
These bonds are subject to underwriting, so the price you’ll pay for your bond depends not only on your required bond amount but also on a review of your personal credit report. The best way to find out how much you’ll pay for your bond is to request a free bond quote now!
