The City of Sherman requires a junk or secondhand dealer to file a $1,000 surety bond as a condition of its dealer license. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















City 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 section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Small fixed city 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 City of Sherman junk / secondhand dealer license. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A City of Sherman junk / secondhand dealer bond is a compliance guarantee tied to the city's secondhand goods and salvage rules. It stands behind your promise to follow the City of Sherman's dealer ordinance — including record-keeping and reporting that help the city deter the resale of stolen property.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Sherman (the obligee), with the city and the public as the protected parties. If you violate the dealer ordinance and someone is harmed, a claim can be made against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We track the term and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out so your Sherman license stays backed.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this bond doesn't have one.
