About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

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.
