What it is and who needs it.
What the pawnbroker bond actually covers
A pawnbroker bond is a consumer-protection guarantee. Pawnbrokers extend small loans against pledged goods and resell unredeemed property — the City of Manassas wants a financial backstop that you will follow pawnbroker law, keep the required transaction records, and deal honestly with customers.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Manassas (the obligee), with your customers as the protected parties. If you violate the pawnbroker ordinance and a customer is harmed, they can recover against the bond up to its amount.
Virginia law (Va. Code § 54.1-4000 et seq.) governs pawnbrokers and lets the locality set the bond. We issue the amount the City of Manassas named, priced from $100, on the form the City requires — no credit check up to $25,000.

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 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.
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 the City. Submit the executed bond to the City of Manassas with your pawnbroker license application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the City insists on them.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $25,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
