What it is and who needs it.
What the second-hand dealer bond covers
The Town of Babylon, in Suffolk County, licenses dealers in second-hand and used goods — a category that often covers used jewelry, electronics, and resale merchandise. The Town can condition that license on a surety bond standing behind the dealer’s honest dealing and recordkeeping under the Town’s rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal / dealer), the surety carrier, and the Town of Babylon together with the public (the protected parties). If a dealer buys stolen goods, fails to keep required records, or otherwise violates the Town’s licensing rules and someone is harmed, a claim can be made against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Dealers who keep proper purchase records and deal honestly treat the bond as a license formality. Enter the amount the Town set — pricing is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum.

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 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.
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 Town of Babylon. Submit the executed bond with your second-hand dealer license application to the Town Clerk. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the office insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $25,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
