What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of New Orleans regulates itinerant and transient vendors — sellers who operate temporarily within the city rather than from a fixed, established place of business — under the transient vendor provisions of its Code of Ordinances. The bond is a 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 New Orleans (the obligee), with 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. Because the city sets the amount, enter the figure your permit requires; we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
