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.
