About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Tiffin peddler bond guarantees

A peddler/solicitor bond is a consumer-protection guarantee to the City of Tiffin and its residents. It backs your promise to peddle or solicit 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 Tiffin (the obligee), with residents as the protected parties. If a peddler 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 peddler/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 Tiffin — peddler / solicitor permit ordinanceThe City of Tiffin requires a surety bond as a condition of its peddler / solicitor 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 Tiffin peddler or 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 everyone 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.

Small municipal bonds like this often issue right after purchase — many applicants finish the form 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 peddler/solicitor bond issues instantly.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active while your Tiffin 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.
