How Does a Henrico County Precious Metals and Gems Dealer Bond Work?
As with all surety bonds, a precious metals dealer bond creates a legal contract between three parties:
- Principal: You, the precious metals and gems dealer filing the bond

- Surety: The provider issuing the bond
This holds you financially responsible for upholding county and state regulations.
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.
