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 starting at $100; the application collects no credit information.
