What it is and who needs it.
What the itinerant vendor bond actually covers
An itinerant or transient vendor sells goods temporarily — door to door, from a stand, or at events — without a permanent place of business. Because such sellers come and go, the City of Lake City conditions a vendor license on a surety bond so customers and the City have recourse if a vendor takes money and doesn't deliver, or violates the vendor ordinance.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Lake City (the obligee), with your customers as the protected parties. If you fail to deliver paid-for goods or otherwise violate the ordinance, a harmed customer or the City can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Honest vendors treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk. We issue the amount the City set, priced at 1% of that amount, $100 minimum, with no credit section on the application.
