What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Warren licenses route salespersons — sellers who deliver goods on a recurring route within city limits — through its City Clerk's office, and conditions that license on a $1,000 surety bond.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Warren (the obligee), with the city and the customers you serve on your route as the protected parties. If a licensed route salesperson violates the terms of the license, a claim can be made against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond has to stay active for the life of your city license, so we track the term and send renewal reminders so your license doesn't lapse.

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 $1,000 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
