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.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $1,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it

What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $1,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
