What it is and who needs it.
What the door-to-door sales bond actually guarantees
The City of Taylor licenses anyone selling or soliciting door-to-door as a peddler. Before the city issues a Peddler’s License, an applicant must file a $25,000 surety bond, pay a $50 application fee, and complete a mandatory background check. It is a consumer-protection guarantee to the city and the residents an applicant will approach at their door.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Taylor (the obligee), with residents as the protected parties. If a peddler defrauds a resident, misrepresents goods or terms, or otherwise violates the city’s peddler and solicitor licensing requirements, a harmed party can look to the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Honest sellers who follow Taylor’s licensing rules treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.

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 $25,000 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
File with the City of Taylor. Submit the executed bond, application fee, and background-check consent with your Peddler’s License application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
