What this bond does

The bond supports the permit for a dealer purchasing precious metals or gems from the public in Fairfax County. It is part of the county's local permit package under its precious metals and gems rules.

Who needs it
Dealers applying for Fairfax County authorization to purchase precious metals or gems from the public.
Who it protects
The local requirement names Fairfax County as recipient. Virginia's bond statute governs the covered dealer obligation and permits one bond to include employees' transactions at one location.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Prepare the county premises and applicant records

The county's checklist calls for an application and release form, BPOL license, non-residential use permit and trade-scale documentation, among its requirements.

Use the exact dealer entity and location on the bond. The Regulation and Licensing Branch handles the local permit application; bonding does not replace the in-person application process.

Keep temporary buying events within the permit process

The county requires advance written notice for the described transient or off-site buying events, identifying dates, hours and address. Its instructions specify ten business days' notice.

A permanent-location bond should not be assumed to authorize every temporary event. Coordinate the permit and location requirements before scheduling purchases from the public.

Purchase the county-payable security

Select Purchase Now for the Fairfax County precious metals offering. Supply the required form, $10,000 amount and dealer identity.

Check the recipient and location before filing the bond with the other permit documents. Ongoing police reporting and storage duties remain separate from security issuance.
