The City of Alamosa requires a $5,000 surety bond as a condition of a pawnbroker license. Ours is $275 flat — 3% of $5,000 is below our minimum, so you pay the minimum. No credit check on this bond.
















License bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials and no credit-check section for this bond.
Small fixed-amount license bonds like this issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the City of Alamosa for your pawnbroker license. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$5,000 bond × 3% = $150, which is below our $275 minimum — so you pay $275, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
The City of Alamosa licenses pawnbrokers and conditions the license on a $5,000 surety bond. The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it stands behind your following Alamosa's pawnbroker rules — proper recordkeeping, honest dealing, and returning pledged property to its rightful owner.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Alamosa (the obligee), with your customers as the protected parties. If a pawnbroker violates the ordinance and a customer is harmed, the harmed customer can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay on file for your pawnbroker license to stay valid.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit-check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
