The regulatory functions of the state warehouse division were established by Georgia Law in 1953, and codified under O.C.G.A. 10-4-1. All commercial agricultural storage facilities in the state are licensed, bonded and inspected for inventory quantity and quality compliance, which protects the producers of grain, cotton and tobacco storing their commodities at those facilities. This section also regulates the Georgia Grain Dealer Act, which requires bond coverage protection for grain payments to producers.

Licenses issued:

• State Bonded Warehouse (cotton and grain)
• Grain Dealer
• Tobacco Warehouse
• Tobacco Dealer
