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.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $5,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the City. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the City of Homewood for your peddler/itinerant license. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
