What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A second-hand / junk dealer bond is a consumer-and-public-protection guarantee. The City of Kansas City, KS licenses dealers in second-hand goods and junk and conditions that license on a $2,000 surety bond standing behind your compliance with the city dealer ordinances — including the recordkeeping and reporting rules that help deter the resale of stolen property.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Kansas City (the obligee). If a dealer violates the second-hand / junk dealer ordinance and the city or a harmed party is damaged, they can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your dealer license. This one carries a statutory December 31 renewal date, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out to keep your filing continuous.
