What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A transient-vendor bond is a consumer-protection guarantee. The City of Auburn licenses temporary and itinerant sellers who set up briefly and move on — the bond gives buyers and the City a financial backstop if a vendor fails to follow City vending rules or leaves a customer with a valid claim.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Auburn (the obligee). If a vendor violates the City's transient-vendor rules, a harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. For most vendors the bond is simply a line on the City license checklist.

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.
