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.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $1,500 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
