What it is and who needs it.
What the peddler bond actually guarantees
The City of Middletown, Ohio regulates door-to-door peddlers, solicitors, and transient vendors and conditions a permit on a $1,000 surety bond. The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee standing behind your compliance with the City’s peddler and solicitation ordinances.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Middletown (the obligee), with the residents you sell to as the protected parties. If a peddler takes money and fails to deliver, or otherwise violates the City’s rules, 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 vendors treat the $1,000 bond as a small permit formality, not a risk.

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.
How to file it
File with your Middletown permit. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your peddler, solicitor, or vendor permit application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $1,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
