About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the pawn shop bond covers

Clayton County licenses pawnbrokers and conditions the license on a surety bond. Pawnbrokers take in pledged goods and lend against them, so the county wants a backstop that operators keep accurate records, hold pledged property properly, and follow the county pawn ordinance and Georgia’s pawnbroker statute.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Clayton County (the obligee), with customers and the public protected. If a pawnbroker mishandles pledged goods, fails to return property a customer redeemed, or violates pawn law, the harmed party can recover against the bond.

The bond is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Pawnbrokers who keep clean records treat the bond as a license formality. Whatever amount the county sets, pricing starts from $100 and the application collects no credit information.
