What it is and who needs it.
What the Smithtown solicitor bond guarantees
A solicitor / peddler bond is a consumer-protection guarantee to the Town. Smithtown wants assurance that anyone selling door-to-door inside the Town will follow its solicitation ordinance and deal honestly with residents.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Smithtown (the obligee), with residents as the protected parties. If a solicitor takes deposits and fails to deliver, or violates the Town ordinance, a harmed resident can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your solicitation permit. Let it lapse and the Town can revoke your permit — so we track it and notify you ahead of expiration.

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 Smithtown Town Clerk. Submit the executed bond with your solicitor permit application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Town insists on them.
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.
