About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of Lincoln Park licenses solicitors and canvassers — people who go door to door to take orders, raise funds, or canvass — and conditions that license on a $1,000 bond. The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with the City’s solicitation ordinance and protects residents from fraud or misrepresentation.

It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Lincoln Park (the obligee), with residents as the protected parties. If a licensed solicitor defrauds a resident or violates the City’s rules, the harmed resident can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you. If a valid claim is paid, you repay the surety. Honest solicitors treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.

City of Lincoln Park — solicitor/canvasser licenseThe City of Lincoln Park requires this $1,000 bond as a condition of a solicitor’s or canvasser’s license.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

How much is the Lincoln Park solicitor or canvasser bond? +
The premium is $275 — our minimum. The bond amount is fixed at $1,000 by the City, and 3% of that ($30) falls below our $275 floor, so the price is $275 for every solicitor.
Do I pay the $1,000? +
No. You pay $275. The $1,000 is the surety’s maximum liability to the City of Lincoln Park and harmed residents if a valid claim is made — it is not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond? +
License bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many solicitors finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
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.
What’s the difference between this and the peddler’s bond? +
Lincoln Park licenses peddlers/hawkers (who sell goods on the spot) and solicitors/canvassers (who take orders or canvass) separately. Use whichever license your activity falls under — both carry a $1,000 bond at our $275 minimum.
