What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Homewood licenses peddlers and itinerant (transient) dealers and conditions that license on a $5,000 surety bond. The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it stands behind your honest dealing with Homewood customers and your compliance with the City's peddler/transient-vendor rules.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Homewood (the obligee), with your customers protected. If you take a customer's money and fail to deliver, or otherwise violate the City's vendor rules, the harmed customer can recover against the bond up to $5,000.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Vendors who deal honestly treat the bond as a license formality.
