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.
