Sullivan County, New York requires a precious metal and gem dealer to file a fixed $2,000 bond with the County to hold a dealer license. At 3% the math lands below our floor, so the price is our $275 minimum — flat, the same for every dealer.
















County license bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit check section.
License bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your dealer license application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$2,000 bond × 3% = $60, which falls below our $275 minimum — so the price is $275 flat per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
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.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
