About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A pawnbroker bond is a public-protection guarantee. The City of Omaha licenses pawnbrokers and wants a financial backstop that you'll operate honestly, hold pledged goods properly, and follow the city's pawnbroker rules and recordkeeping requirements.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Omaha (the obligee), with customers and the public as the protected parties. If a pawnbroker violates the licensing rules and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond.

The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and the City can act against the license — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $5,000 filing continuous.

City of Omaha — pawnbroker licensingThe City of Omaha requires this $5,000 surety bond as a condition of a pawnbroker license; the bond amount and terms are set by the City of Omaha through its business licensing function. We have not cited a specific municipal code section because the city ordinance number is not published in a way we can verify — confirm the filing details with the City of Omaha licensing office.
