What it is and who needs it.
What the Savannah precious metals bond covers
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; no credit check, and most applications approve instantly.

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 $10,000 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.
How to file it
File with the Savannah Revenue Department. 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.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
