About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A second-hand dealer bond is a consumer-and-public-protection guarantee. Dealers who buy and resell used goods can unknowingly handle stolen property, so the City of Camden wants a financial backstop that you keep proper purchase records, hold goods as required, and follow the city’s second-hand dealer rules.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Camden (the obligee), with the public as the protected parties. If a dealer violates the second-hand ordinance or mishandles goods, a harmed party can recover against the bond.

The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and your Camden license can be suspended — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $500 filing continuous.

City of Camden — second-hand dealer / storekeeper licenseThe City of Camden conditions its second-hand storekeeper / dealer license on a surety bond — commonly $500 — filed with the city. The bond amount and obligee are set by the city’s second-hand dealer ordinance; confirm the required amount with the City of Camden before you buy.
