What it is and who needs it.
What the Sullivan County dealer bond guarantees
A precious metal and gem dealer bond is a consumer-and-law-enforcement guarantee to the County. Sullivan County wants assurance that dealers who buy gold, silver, and gems 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 Sullivan County (the obligee), with the public as the protected parties. If a dealer violates the County ordinance — for example, fails to record transactions or buys stolen goods — a harmed party or the County can recover against the $2,000 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.

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 $2,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
