North Hempstead second hand dealer bonds.
$100 flat.
Before you buy or sell secondhand merchandise in the unincorporated areas of the Town of North Hempstead, the Town requires a dealer license — and a $2,000 surety bond running to the Town, filed with the Town Clerk, under Chapter 13 of the Town Code. Ours is $100 flat, the price you see is the checkout price, and the bond issues the moment you pay. Any credit screen is a soft pull only — it never affects your score.

What it is and who needs it.
What the dealer bond actually guarantees
The Town of North Hempstead licenses dealers in secondhand merchandise under Chapter 13 of its Town Code. A person who buys, sells, or deals in used goods in the unincorporated areas of the Town applies to the Town Clerk, and a general license carries a $2,000 bond running to the Town.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of North Hempstead (the obligee). The bond stands behind your compliance with the chapter — the recordkeeping, holding-period, and honest-dealing rules that let the Town and the public trace secondhand goods and recover when a dealer defrauds a customer.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The license has to stay continuously bonded, so we track your term and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.
