About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Statesboro license or permit bond covers

Statesboro's Tax & License Office administers occupational tax certificates and a range of business, occupation, and professional licenses under Chapter 18 of the city's Code of Ordinances. For certain categories, the city conditions the license on a surety bond filed with the City Clerk before it will issue or renew the certificate — the specific category is named on your notice.

One category is verifiable directly in the published code: dealers in precious metals and gems must file a $10,000 bond under Sec. 18-60 before the city will issue that license. Other regulated categories carry bonding requirements the Tax & License Office sets administratively as part of the occupational tax certificate process; we could not verify a single code section covering every category this filing applies to, so confirm your exact amount with the department.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Statesboro (the obligee), with the public as the protected party. If a bonded business violates the ordinances or statutes governing its licensed conduct, the city can bring an action on the bond; if the surety pays a judgment, you repay the surety. It is not insurance for you. Occupational tax certificates expire December 31 each year, and this bond renews on the same annual cycle.

City of Statesboro Tax & License OfficeThe City of Statesboro's Tax & License Office (City Clerk's department, City Hall, 50 E. Main Street) can condition certain business, occupation, and professional licenses on a surety bond as part of the occupational tax certificate process under Chapter 18 of the city's Code of Ordinances. One category is codified directly: Sec. 18-60 requires dealers in precious metals and gems to file a $10,000 bond before licensing. For other categories, the department sets the required amount administratively; confirm the figure and any applicable code section with the Tax & License Office (912-764-0625) before filing.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Statesboro license or permit bond?Pricing is 0.5% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum. The amount itself is set by the city — dealers in precious metals and gems file $10,000 under Sec. 18-60, and other categories carry an amount the Tax & License Office names on your notice. Enter that figure and your exact price appears in the application.
What amount should I enter?Use the figure on your Statesboro license or permit notice. If you are licensing as a dealer in precious metals or gems, the code sets that amount at $10,000. For any other category, ask the Tax & License Office for the exact figure and enter it here.
What does the bond guarantee?That you comply with the city ordinances and state statutes governing your licensed business, and that you pay any judgment entered against you for violating them. If you don't and the city or a member of the public is harmed, they can bring an action against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
Where do I file it?With the City Clerk at Statesboro City Hall, alongside your occupational tax certificate or permit application. The Tax & License Office (912-764-0625) can tell you exactly which filing your bond attaches to.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information. If a check ever runs on a larger bond amount, it is a soft pull that never affects your score — never a hard inquiry.
