What this bond does
The bond supports the citrus dealer obligation identified in your licensing documents. Keep the citrus-specific request separate from a general agricultural dealer application.
- Who needs it
- A business arranging security for Florida citrus dealing, with the applicable activity and any licensing exemption checked against the citrus program's instructions.
- Who it protects
- The issued citrus bond defines the obligations and parties it protects. It does not certify fruit quality, clear a shipment for transport or grant the dealer's license.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Questions about this bond
Can I use a general agricultural dealer bond instead?
Use the instrument specified for your citrus dealer application. Florida's citrus program and general agricultural dealer program are separate; a similar business description does not establish interchangeable bonds.
Does every retail citrus seller need this bond?
FDACS distinguishes retail sales directly to consumers from citrus dealing covered by the law. Review your actual activities and the program's exemptions before arranging security.
What bond amount and term should I enter?
Use the security instructions for your business and shipping season. No fixed amount or term is displayed on this application link.
Does the bond let me ship citrus immediately?
No. Complete the separate licensing, inspection and transport requirements that apply to the shipment. The bond application alone grants none of those permissions.
