Homewood peddler bonds.
$275 flat. Five minutes.

The City of Homewood requires peddlers and itinerant dealers to post a $5,000 bond before selling door-to-door or as a transient vendor in the city. Three percent of $5,000 is under our minimum, so the price is the $275 minimum premium — the same for everyone, with no credit check on this one.

About this bond

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.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Homewood peddler bond? +
The premium is $275 — our minimum. Three percent of the $5,000 bond amount is $150, which falls below our $275 minimum, so the price is $275, the same for every vendor.
Do I pay the $5,000? +
No. You pay $275. The $5,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Why does Homewood require it? +
The City conditions its peddler / itinerant dealer license on this bond, which protects customers and backs your compliance with the City's vendor rules. No active bond, no license.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount license bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the license. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available.
