The City of Salisbury requires a $1,000 bond for a mobile vendor / transient merchant license — a consumer-protection backstop for the residents you sell to. Ours is $275 flat — our minimum, since 3% of $1,000 is below it — with no credit check.

About this bond

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.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Salisbury mobile vendor bond? +
The premium is $275 — our flat minimum. Three percent of the $1,000 bond is $30, which is below the minimum, so every Salisbury vendor pays the same $275. The $1,000 amount is set by the City, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $1,000? +
No. You pay $275. The $1,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made by a customer — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Who needs this bond? +
Mobile vendors and transient merchants — sellers without a fixed City storefront, including food trucks, peddlers, and seasonal vendors — applying for a City of Salisbury license.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount license bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active for the life of the license. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your license never lapses over a missed email.
