The City of Savannah regulates precious metals dealers and pawnbrokers, and a dealer or pawnbroker who buys or sells precious metals must post a $10,000 surety bond with the city Revenue Department before the business tax certificate issues. The bond is a consumer-and-compliance guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to follow the city ordinance, keep the required transaction records, and deal honestly with the public.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Savannah together with harmed customers (the protected parties). If a dealer violates the precious metals or pawnbroker rules and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond up to the $10,000 penal sum.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Dealers who keep clean records and follow the ordinance treat the bond as a license formality. We issue the fixed $10,000 bond at $100 flat; the application collects no credit information, and most applications approve instantly.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this bond doesn't need one.
