What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A City of Franklin peddler and solicitor bond is a consumer-protection guarantee tied to your door-to-door permit. The City conditions the permit on a $1,000 bond so residents have a financial backstop if a permitted seller defrauds them or violates the terms of the permit.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Franklin (the obligee), with the residents you call on as the protected parties. If a peddler violates the City's solicitation rules and a resident is harmed, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Peddlers who follow the City's rules treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk, and we keep your $1,000 filing continuous for the life of the permit.
