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.

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
