What it is and who needs it.
What the peddler bond covers
The City of McMinnville requires anyone who peddles, sells, or solicits door-to-door within the city to hold a peddler/solicitor permit, and conditions that permit on a surety bond. The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with the city peddler ordinance and protects residents from fraud or misrepresentation in your sales.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of McMinnville (the obligee), with residents as the protected parties. If a peddler violates the ordinance or defrauds a buyer, the harmed party can recover against the bond up to $1,000.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Peddlers who follow the ordinance treat the bond as a routine permit formality. We issue the fixed $1,000 amount at $100, and the application collects no credit information.
