What it is and who needs it.
What the transient vendor bond covers
The City of College Park licenses transient and itinerant vendors — peddlers, door-to-door sellers, and temporary merchants who don’t keep a permanent storefront in the city. Because these sellers are mobile and short-term, the city conditions the license on a surety bond so customers have recourse after the vendor moves on.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of College Park (the obligee), with local customers as the protected parties. If you take payment and don’t deliver, fail to honor a warranty, or violate the city’s vendor ordinance, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if a valid claim is paid, you repay the surety. Honest vendors treat the bond as a license formality and a trust signal to local buyers.

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 College Park. Submit the executed bond with your transient-vendor license application at the College Park Business License office. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
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.
