The City of Savannah requires a fixed $10,000 bond of precious metals dealers and pawnbrokers who buy or sell precious metals, filed with the city Revenue Department before the business tax certificate issues. At 3% that is $300 flat, with no credit check on this bond.
















City license bonds like this are simple. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That is the application — no financials, no credit check section.
Fixed-amount city license bonds like this are among the bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the City of Savannah Revenue Department for your business tax certificate. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
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 $300, with no credit check.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
