About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A precious metal purchaser bond is a compliance and consumer-protection guarantee. Buyers of gold, silver, and other precious metals handle goods that may be stolen, so Ogden wants a financial backstop that you'll keep transaction records, observe holding periods, and verify seller identity.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Ogden (the obligee), with the public protected. If you violate the city's precious metal ordinance, a harmed party or the city can recover against the bond.

No bond, no license. Ogden won't issue the license without it, so we issue the executed $2,000 bond ready to file and track renewals so your license stays current.

Do I pay the $2,000? +
No. You pay $275. The $2,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made, not a deposit.
