What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Hammond regulates door-to-door solicitation and street vending, and its ordinance requires anyone soliciting in the city to first furnish a bond and secure a solicitor's license. The peddler / solicitor / hawker bond is a $1,500 consumer-protection guarantee that backs your compliance with those rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Hammond (the obligee), with residents as the protected parties. If a vendor violates the solicitation ordinance — soliciting outside permitted hours, misrepresenting goods, or otherwise harming a resident — a claim can be filed against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The city also limits solicitation hours, so the bond sits alongside the rest of the permit conditions you agree to follow.

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.
