About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Secondhand and pawn dealers handle a steady flow of used goods, and the City of Lawton conditions its dealer license on a $1,000 surety bond. The bond is a consumer-and-public-protection guarantee standing behind your compliance with the City's secondhand dealer rules, including recordkeeping and dealings with the public.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Lawton (the obligee), with the public protected. If a dealer violates the City's secondhand dealer ordinance and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Dealers who keep good records and follow the City's rules treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.
