I expect to take the test for a NWAC license this week. After I get the permit, I think I'd like to talk to the county surveyor about making myself available for beaver removal jobs if they need any help with that.
I'm just wondering what local government beaver removal jobs normally pay? Anyone here do beaver removal work for a county or township? How do they pay?

OK. Sounds like they invite you to submit a quote for each removal job. Understood.
I wondered if anyone works for a county where the assessor just pays a flat fee for each setup location or a flat fee per Beaver caught. I wasn't sure if the counties only have an annual contract where they pay so much per year and the ADC trapper must take care of any removal jobs that come up within a given territory.
I suppose there are quite a few different ways it could be and is done.

Also... Does the county usually require that you have insurance? What do they ask for, just Commercial General Liability, or do they want to see Workers Compensation coverage also?

I've done both county road commission and county drain commission, I charge a flat set up fee and charge for every beaver killed. The county caries the insurance. if I had to get liability insurance the price would be double. They understand that. I've had one trap stolen an 2 Belisles destroyed that they reimbursed me for.
A word of advise, beaver trapping in the summer is not fun especially under the uniformed public eye. Insects, turtles, waterfowl, and people take the fun right out of it. At least here they don't believe in prevention. And they will call when all else fails.

for those of you that get paid a flat rate per beaver, is it up to you to go out and find the beaver, or does the township call you when they have a drainage ditch being clogged up? Are you the exclusive wildlife control agent for the county or do they use several different ones?

Our fur council runs a nuisance beaver program and we utilize our members who are closest to the complaint.We do nuisance beaver work for local roads boards(twp) highways,logging company,hydro electric companys,municipalities,etc. Our rates are $75 per beaver,$.45 per km for up to 5 trips and $50 to remove dams and return water to natural flow.Dam removal has to be mutually agreed between the trapper and complainant. An avg call nets from $400 to $1200,depending on distance and the number of beaver removed. A council co-Ordinator takes the complaint writes up the contract and dispatches the trapper within 24 hrs of the initial call.Co-ordinator also verifies that the job is complete and billing info is correct (verifies number of beavers removed). Its a very successful program that has been running since early 90's with satisfied clients signing on every year.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
