About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The Village of Lemont requires anyone going door-to-door to sell goods, take orders, or solicit residents to register a solicitor permit with the Lemont Police Department, conditioned on a $1,000 surety bond. The permit and bond apply on top of any background-check or registration steps the Police Department runs before issuing the permit.

It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Lemont (the obligee). The bond guarantees a solicitor’s conduct and any transactions comply with village ordinance — a resident harmed by a bonded solicitor’s misconduct has a bond to claim against.

It is not insurance for you. If the Village makes a valid claim and the surety pays, you repay the surety. The bond covers the term of your solicitor permit, so we track renewal ahead of expiration.

Village of Lemont Police DepartmentThe Village of Lemont requires door-to-door solicitors and peddlers to register a permit through the Lemont Police Department, conditioned on a $1,000 surety bond. Lemont’s municipal code is hosted on Municode and is not reachable by automated fetch to confirm a citable section number; confirm current terms with the Lemont Police Department (630-257-2229) before filing.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Lemont door-to-door solicitor bond?The premium is $100, flat — the price you see at checkout is the price you pay, the same for every applicant. The $1,000 amount is set by the Village of Lemont; the premium is set by our carrier’s rate book, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $1,000?No. You pay $100. The $1,000 is the surety’s maximum liability to the Village of Lemont if a valid claim is made — it is not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond?Permit bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many applicants finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information — most applications like this approve instantly. If a check ever runs on a bond like this, it’s a soft pull that never affects your score.
Does the bond replace the solicitor permit itself?No — the bond is a condition of the permit, not the permit itself. You still register with the Lemont Police Department; we email your executed bond the same day it issues so you can attach it to that application.
