Heyworth solicitor bonds.
$100 flat.
The Village of Heyworth requires a vendor, solicitor, or temporary merchant to obtain a permit from the Police Department before going door to door, backed by a $1,000 surety bond under Village Code Title 4, Chapter 3. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — a soft credit pull at most, never a hard inquiry.

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.
