City of Bastrop peddler bonds.
$100 flat.
The City of Bastrop requires peddlers and itinerant vendors to post a $1,500 bond to get a permit to sell door-to-door or from a temporary location — the city’s backstop for honest dealing with residents. The premium is a flat $100, set by our carrier’s rate book for this bond — the bond issues the moment you pay, with no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Bastrop licenses peddlers and itinerant vendors — people who sell door-to-door or from a temporary location rather than a fixed storefront. Because these vendors come and go, the city conditions the permit on a $1,500 bond as a backstop for honest dealing with residents.
It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Bastrop as the obligee. If you violate the city’s peddler ordinance — for example by taking money for goods you don’t deliver — a harmed resident or the city can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Vendors who deal squarely with residents treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
