What it is and who needs it.
What the Boise vendor / solicitor bond covers
A vendor or solicitor bond is a consumer-protection guarantee the City of Boise requires before it licenses someone to sell goods or take orders for future delivery within the city. Boise defines a vendor as a business selling from a mobile cart, vehicle, trailer, or one’s person, and a solicitor as someone taking orders for goods or services to be furnished later.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety, and the City of Boise (the obligee), with your customers as the protected parties. If you take an order or payment and fail to deliver, or violate the City’s vendor ordinance, a harmed resident can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of the license. We track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out so your Boise vendor or solicitor license never lapses over an expired bond.
