Spencer peddler bonds.
$275. Five minutes.
The City of Spencer requires a $500 bond as a condition of its peddler, solicitor, or transient merchant license — ours is $275 flat, the minimum premium, because 3% of $500 is below it. The application is five minutes, and small license bonds like this are the fastest thing we issue.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A peddler / transient merchant bond is a consumer-protection guarantee. When you sell door to door or from a temporary location in Spencer, the City wants a financial backstop that you'll follow its peddler ordinance and deal honestly with residents.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Spencer (the obligee), with the residents you sell to as the protected parties. If you take payment and never deliver, or violate the license rules, a harmed resident can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the term of your license. Let it lapse and the City can pull your peddler license — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $500 filing continuous.
