How Does a Mississippi Landscape Horticulturist License Bond Work?
As with all surety bonds, a landscape horticulturist license bond creates a legal contract between three parties:
- Principal: You, the horticulturist filing the bond
- Obligee: The Department of Agriculture and Commerce requiring the bond
- Surety: The provider issuing the bond
This holds you financially responsible for upholding the provisions of Mississippi Code Title 69 Chapter 19.
If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you are ultimately responsible for refunding the surety.
