What it is and who needs it.
What the Pipestone peddler bond covers
The City of Pipestone licenses peddlers, solicitors, and transient merchants and conditions that license on a surety bond. The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with the City’s peddler ordinance and your honest dealing with residents you sell to door-to-door.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Pipestone (the obligee), with the residents you sell to as the protected parties. If a peddler defrauds a buyer or violates the license terms, the harmed person or the City can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Honest sellers treat the bond as a license formality the City requires before you go door to door.

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 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.
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 Clerk. Submit the executed bond with your peddler / solicitor license application to the City of Pipestone. Wet-ink originals 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.
No credit check up to $25,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
