The Town of Monroe requires a surety bond for a peddler or solicitor permit, filed with the Town Clerk. The bond protects residents who buy from door-to-door and transient sellers. Premiums run 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — enter the amount the Town set and your exact price appears at the application. The application collects no credit information.
















No underwriting queue for most peddlers permit bonds — enter your amount, apply, and file with the Town. Here is the whole thing:
Your details, the bond amount the Town required, and the effective date — that is the entire application. There is no credit section.
Most applicants are approved and issued as soon as you pay. If a check runs on your file, it is a soft pull that never affects your score. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
Submit the executed bond with your peddler / solicitor permit application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Town insists.
The Town of Monroe licenses peddlers, hawkers, and solicitors through its Town Clerk and conditions the permit on a surety bond. Door-to-door and transient sellers take money in person, so the Town wants a financial backstop for the residents who buy from them.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the Town of Monroe together with harmed residents (the protected parties). If you take a deposit and fail to deliver, or violate the terms of the permit, a harmed resident can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Honest sellers who deliver what they promise treat the bond as a permit formality.
Submit the application with the bond amount the Town of Monroe set — premiums run 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, and most applicants see their bond issued right away.
