What it is and who needs it.
What the pawnbroker bond covers
The City of St. George licenses pawnbrokers, secondhand dealers, and precious-metals & gem dealers, and conditions the license on a $5,000 surety bond. Utah’s pawnshop framework (Utah Code Title 13, Chapter 32a) leaves day-to-day licensing of these businesses to the city, and St. George requires the bond as part of its business license.
The bond is a consumer-and-public-protection guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with the city’s pawnbroker and secondhand-dealer ordinance and the recordkeeping and reporting rules that govern bought and pawned goods. If you violate those obligations and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of St. George (the obligee), with harmed customers and the public as the protected parties. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We price the fixed $5,000 bond at $100 flat; no credit check.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $5,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with your St. George license. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your City of St. George pawnbroker / secondhand dealer license application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $5,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
