About this bond

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.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Taylor door-to-door sales bond?The rate is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum. The city fixes the bond itself at $25,000, so your exact price — above the $100 floor at that amount — shows at the application before you pay.

What amount should I enter?Nothing to enter — the City of Taylor fixes this bond at $25,000, so the amount is already set and locked in on the application.

What does the bond guarantee?It backs your compliance with Taylor’s peddler licensing rules and protects residents you solicit. If a resident has a covered, unpaid claim against your conduct as a licensed peddler, they can look to the $25,000 bond, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.

Do I pay the full $25,000?No. The $25,000 is the bond’s penal amount — the surety’s maximum liability if a valid claim is made — not a deposit. You pay the premium: 1% of that amount, $100 minimum. The city’s separate $50 application fee and background-check cost are paid directly to Taylor, not to us.

Is there a credit check?The application includes a credit consent, but it authorizes a soft credit pull only — a soft inquiry that never affects your score. No hard inquiry ever runs on this bond. The city’s own background check is separate from anything we run.
