What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Heyworth Village Code Title 4, Chapter 3 makes it unlawful for a vendor, solicitor, or temporary merchant to engage in that business inside the village — or to employ someone who does — without first applying for and receiving a permit from the Police Department. The permit requires a $1,000 surety bond (a bond, cash, money order, or cashier's check payable to the Village all satisfy the requirement), alongside a $100 permit fee per individual, up to $500 per business per calendar year.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Heyworth (the obligee), with residents who transact with the solicitor as the protected parties. The Village requires the bond specifically to give residents a claim to file against if a solicitor defrauds them, alongside the permit's photograph and background-check requirements.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Carry your permit while soliciting, since Village Code and the Police Department expect residents to be able to ask to see 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 $1,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
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 Village. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the Heyworth Police Department alongside your solicitor permit application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $1,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
