Hammond itinerant vendor bonds.
$100 flat.
The City of Hammond requires a $2,000 surety bond from itinerant vendors who operate temporarily in the city — food trucks, market stalls, and pop-up sellers. Ours is $100 — the price you see is the checkout price, set by our carrier's rate book for this bond. The bond issues the moment you pay — 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 Hammond regulates vendors who operate temporarily within the city — food trucks, market stalls, and pop-up sellers — and conditions an itinerant vendor permit on a $2,000 surety bond. The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee that backs your compliance with the city's vendor ordinance.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Hammond (the obligee), with residents and customers as the protected parties. If a vendor violates the ordinance or harms a customer, a claim can be filed against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Vendors who follow the permit rules treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
