The City of Danbury requires an itinerant or mobile vendor to file a $1,000 surety bond before operating in the city. The price is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price — with a short application.
















Vendor bonds like this are about the simplest thing in surety. Here is the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That is the application — no financials, no credit section.
Bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your vendor license application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
An itinerant or mobile vendor doing business on Danbury streets or public property operates under a city license, and the City of Danbury conditions that license on a $1,000 surety bond. The bond stands behind your compliance with the city’s vending rules and gives customers and the City recourse if a vendor’s conduct causes a covered loss.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Danbury (the obligee), with the public as the protected party. If a vendor fails to meet its obligations under the license, a harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Connecticut repealed its statewide itinerant-vendor licensing statute effective January 1, 2018, so this requirement is set and administered at the city level rather than under a state statute; confirm your license terms with the City’s business licensing office, and we will match the bond to what it requires.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this application does not collect credit information.
