The Basics

What Is a Warehouse Operator Bond?

A warehouse operator bond (also called a public warehouse bond, storage facility bond, or warehouseman's bond) is a state-required surety bond that guarantees warehouse operators handle stored goods responsibly and comply with all warehouse regulations.

This bond protects customers and businesses from:

Loss or damage to stored goods
Fraud or misrepresentation
Mishandling of inventory
Failure to maintain accurate warehouse receipts
Violations of state warehouse laws

If you operate a public warehouse or store goods for others, your state may require this bond before issuing or renewing your warehouse license.
