What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually covers
A transient dealer bond is a consumer-protection guarantee to the City of Mountain Brook. Itinerant merchants who set up temporarily — and could pack up and leave — are bonded so customers and the city have recourse if goods are misrepresented, taxes go unpaid, or city rules are broken.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Mountain Brook (the obligee), with your customers as the protected parties. If you violate the city's transient dealer ordinance or harm a buyer, a valid claim can be made against the bond up to the amount the city set.
We issue the amount the City of Mountain Brook set, with premiums from $100 — 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, exact price at the application. The bond must stay active for the term of your transient dealer license, and we keep your filing continuous for as long as the city requires it.

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 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.
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 of Mountain Brook. Submit the executed bond with your transient / itinerant dealer license application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the city insists on them.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $25,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
