Hammond peddler & solicitor bonds.
$100 flat.
Before the City of Hammond issues a peddler, solicitor, or hawker license, the applicant must furnish a $1,500 surety bond. 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 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.
