What is this bond?

The Tennessee Hunting License Sales Agent Bond is a commercial surety bond required for businesses authorized to sell state hunting and fishing licenses. It guarantees that the agent will accurately report sales and remit all collected license fees to the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency. If the agent fails to forward the state's funds, the bond provides a mechanism for financial compensation to the state.

Who needs it?

Retail stores, bait shops, sporting goods stores, and other businesses acting as authorized sales agents for the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency typically need this bond. If your business plans to issue hunting, fishing, or trapping licenses to the public on behalf of the state, you generally must secure this coverage. Always verify your specific bonding requirements directly with the issuing agency.

Why is it required?

The obligee requires this bond to protect public funds collected from the sale of wildlife licenses. It serves as a financial guarantee that the sales agent will act honestly and fulfill their fiduciary duty to remit the state's money on schedule. By requiring this bond, the state ensures it can recover lost revenue if an agent mismanages or misappropriates the collected fees.
