What it is and who needs it.
What the Salisbury bond guarantees
The City of Salisbury licenses mobile vendors and transient merchants — sellers without a fixed City storefront — and conditions the license on a $1,000 bond. The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee standing behind your honest dealing with the residents you sell to and your compliance with the City vendor rules.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety, and the City of Salisbury (the obligee), with your customers as the protected parties. If a vendor takes payment and fails to deliver, or otherwise 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. The bond must stay active for the life of the license — we track the date and notify you 60 and 30 days out.
