What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Nassau County licenses second-hand dealers — pawnshops, consignment and resale shops, antique and precious-metal buyers — through its Consumer Affairs / License Division, and conditions the license on a $5,000 bond. The bond is a consumer-protection and law-enforcement guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with the county's second-hand dealer and recordkeeping rules, which help recover stolen property.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the County of Nassau (the obligee), with the public as the protected party. If a dealer violates the county rules or handles goods unlawfully, a harmed party can recover against the $5,000 bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for the life of the license, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out to keep your county filing continuous.
