What the Suffolk County dealer bond guarantees
A precious metals dealer bond is a consumer-and-law-enforcement guarantee to the County. Suffolk County wants assurance that dealers who buy gold, silver, and secondhand valuables will keep required records, honor holding periods, and deal honestly with the public.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Suffolk County (the obligee), with the public as the protected parties. If a dealer violates the County ordinance — for example, fails to keep transaction records or buys stolen goods — a harmed party or the County can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your dealer license. Let it lapse and the County can suspend your license — so we track it and notify you ahead of expiration.
