What is a Washington Wholesale Fish Dealer Performance Bond?                                                

Understand what this bond is for and how to get one easily!

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, by Chapter 77.65.320 of the Revised Code of Washington, requires persons who are intending to become licensed as wholesale fish dealers within the state to post a performance surety bond.

 

A performance surety bond’s purpose is to ensure that the wholesale fish dealer will properly perform his or her duties by the rules and regulations that govern wholesale fish dealers in Washington.

 

What is the bond amount?

The bond amount should be $1,000 for each buyer of the wholesale fish dealer. However, the bond amount should not be less than $2,000 or more than $50,000.

 

For example, the wholesale fish dealer has eight buyers; the bond amount will be $8,000.

 

Those who have excellent credit scores may qualify for a very low bond premium. The bond premium amount starts at $100!
