About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Horry County pawnbroker bond covers

Horry County permits pawnbrokers operating in the unincorporated county and conditions that local permit on a surety bond, separate from South Carolina's statewide pawnbroker deposit. The bond runs to the County as obligee and stands behind your compliance with the County's pawnbroker ordinance.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety, and Horry County (the obligee), with your pawn customers as the protected parties. If a pawnbroker violates the County ordinance and a customer or the County suffers a loss, they can recover against the bond up to its amount.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Pawnbrokers who follow the County's recordkeeping and reporting rules treat the bond as a permit formality. We issue the amount the County set, at a flat 3% with no credit check.
