Macomb requires a $500 bond from door-to-door solicitors and peddlers, filed with the Township Clerk as a condition of the permit. Ours is $275 flat, our 3% minimum — the same for every solicitor.
















A permit bond is the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials for a small fixed-amount permit bond like this.
Permit bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the Macomb Township Clerk alongside your solicitor / peddler permit application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$500 bond × 3% = $15, below our $275 floor — so the premium is $275, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price.
Macomb requires door-to-door solicitors and peddlers to register with the Township Clerk and post a $500 bond. The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee — it stands behind deposits residents pay for goods or services to be delivered later, and backs the solicitor's compliance with the township's rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the township (the obligee), with residents as the protected parties. If a solicitor takes money and fails to deliver, or otherwise violates the solicitation rules, a harmed resident can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Honest solicitors treat the bond as a permit formality; it keeps your $500 filing on record with the Township Clerk for the permit term.
These are the actual issuing fields for a small fixed-amount permit bond — submit once and most issue right away.
