What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A peddler bond is a consumer-protection guarantee. Peddlers take orders and money from residents at the door, so the Township of Lakewood wants a financial backstop that you deliver what you sell, honor refunds, and follow the township’s peddling rules.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Township of Lakewood (the obligee), with town residents as the protected parties. If a peddler takes deposits and fails to deliver, or violates the peddling ordinance, a harmed resident can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and your township license can be suspended — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $1,000 filing continuous.
