About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

An itinerant vendor bond is a consumer-protection guarantee. St. Tammany Parish wants a financial backstop that traveling and temporary merchants will deal honestly with local customers and follow the Parish vendor ordinance — because once an itinerant vendor moves on, a wronged buyer has little else to fall back on.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and St. Tammany Parish (the obligee), with parish customers as the protected parties. If a vendor takes money and fails to deliver, or violates the vendor ordinance, a harmed customer can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We track your filing and notify you 60 and 30 days before expiration so your permit never lapses over a missed renewal.
