How Does a Lexington-Fayette UCG Precious Metal Dealer Bond Work?
As with all surety bonds, a precious metal dealer bond creates a legal contract between three parties:
- Principal: You, the precious metal dealer filing the bond
- Obligee: The Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government requiring the bond
- Surety: The provider issuing the bond
This holds you financially responsible for upholding the provisions of the Code of Ordinances Article 3 Sec. 13-66.
If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you are ultimately responsible for refunding the surety.
How Do I Renew My Bond?
These bonds expire annually. To renew your precious metal dealer bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted.
We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
After renewing, you’ll receive a continuation certificate to file as proof of ongoing coverage.
