What it is and who needs it.
What the pawnbroker bond guarantees
A pawnbroker lends against pledged property, and the City of Woonsocket licenses anyone who runs a pawnshop in the city. The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it stands behind a pawnbroker complying with the city pawnbroker ordinance and dealing honestly with customers and their pledged goods.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Woonsocket (the obligee), with your customers as the protected parties. If a pawnbroker violates the ordinance and a customer or the city is harmed, they can recover against the $2,000 bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your license. We track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your Woonsocket filing continuous.

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.
