About this bond

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 — the application collects no credit information at the standard amount.
