Lansing peddler & solicitor bonds.
$100 flat.
The City of Lansing licenses peddlers and solicitors — door-to-door and transient sellers — and conditions that license on a $1,000 surety bond. Ours is $100 flat — the price our carrier set for this bond, not a percentage calculation. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A peddler and solicitor bond is a consumer-protection guarantee. Door-to-door and transient sellers take orders and money from residents at their homes, so the City of Lansing wants a financial backstop that you deal honestly, deliver what you sell, and follow the City's peddler and solicitor ordinance.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Lansing (the obligee), with the residents you solicit as the protected parties. If you take a deposit and don't deliver, or otherwise violate the ordinance, a harmed customer can claim against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Peddlers and solicitors who deliver what they sell treat the bond as a license formality, and we keep your $1,000 filing continuous with renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.
