About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Red Lodge vendor bond guarantees

The City of Red Lodge licenses transient and itinerant vendors — sellers who set up temporarily rather than operate from a fixed local storefront. As a condition of that license, the City requires a fixed $500 surety bond.

The bond is a consumer-and-City protection guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with the City's vendor rules and protects customers and the City against losses if you violate the terms of your vendor license.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Red Lodge (the obligee), with your customers as the protected parties. If the surety pays a valid claim, you repay the surety — vendors who follow the rules treat the bond as a license formality.

City of Red Lodge — transient vendor license ($500)The City of Red Lodge requires a $500 surety bond as a condition of its transient / itinerant vendor license; the bond amount and terms are set by the City. The $500 penal sum is named on the license requirement itself — confirm it on your paperwork, and we issue the fixed bond at our $275 minimum.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the City of Red Lodge transient vendor bond? +
The premium is $275 — our minimum. A flat 3% of the fixed $500 bond amount is just $15, below our floor, so the price is $275 for every vendor. The $500 is set by the City, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $500? +
No. You pay $275. The $500 is the surety's maximum liability to the City and harmed customers if a valid claim is made — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond? +
License bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many vendors finish and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount license bonds like this one don't need one.
Why is the premium $275 when the bond is only $500? +
$275 is our minimum premium for any bond. Three percent of a $500 bond would be $15, which is below the cost of underwriting and issuing it, so small bonds like this land at the $275 floor.
