About this bond

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.

City of Marion — peddler / solicitor permit ordinanceThe City of Marion requires a surety bond as a condition of its door-to-door solicitor / peddler permit; the $1,000 amount and terms are set by the City through its Clerk / licensing function. Confirm the current permit requirement with the City before filing.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Marion solicitor bond? +
The premium is $275 — our flat minimum. Three percent of the fixed $1,000 amount is $30, well under the $275 minimum, so every solicitor pays $275. No quote process.
Do I pay the $1,000? +
No. You pay $275. The $1,000 is the most the surety would pay on a valid resident claim — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond? +
Small municipal bonds like this often issue right after purchase — many solicitors finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section. The fixed $1,000 solicitor bond issues instantly.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active while your Marion solicitor permit is current. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available.
