What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Montrose licenses pawnbrokers through the City Clerk and conditions the license on a $2,000 surety bond. The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it stands behind the safekeeping and return of articles you hold on pledge, and your faithful observance of the City pawnbroker rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Montrose (the obligee), with your pledge customers as the protected parties. If a pawnbroker fails to return or safekeep pledged property or otherwise violates the pawnbroker code, a harmed customer can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Pawnbrokers who keep clean records and return pledged property treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $2,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
