What it is and who needs it.
What the Ferndale vendor bond covers
The City of Ferndale conditions a sidewalk or mobile vendor permit on a $1,000 surety bond. The bond is a compliance-and-public guarantee: it stands behind your promise to vend within the City's rules — approved locations, sidewalk clearance, cleanup, and permit conditions.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Ferndale (the obligee), with the public protected. If a vendor violates the permit terms or leaves a mess the City must clean up, the City or a harmed party can recover against the bond up to $1,000.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Vendors who follow Ferndale's rules treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
