What it is and who needs it.
What the Marion solicitor bond guarantees
A solicitor bond is a consumer-protection guarantee to the City of Marion and its residents. It backs your promise to sell door-to-door honestly — to deliver what residents pay for and to follow the City peddler/solicitor ordinance.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Marion (the obligee), with residents as the protected parties. If a solicitor takes a deposit and fails to deliver, or otherwise violates the ordinance, a harmed resident can recover against the bond up to $1,000.
The bond must stay active while your solicitor permit is current. Let it lapse and the City can pull the permit — so we track it and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.
