How Does a Lummi Nation Fish Buyer Bond Work? 

As with all surety bonds, a fish buyer license bond creates a legal contract between three parties: 

  1. Principal: You, the fish buyer filing the bond
  2. Obligee: The Lummi Nation Department of Natural Resources requiring the bond
  3. Surety: The provider issuing the bond

This holds you financially responsible for upholding the provisions of the Lummi Nation National Resources Code. 

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. 

How Do I Renew My Bond?

These bonds expire annually. To renew your fish buyer license bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted. 

We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
