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 no credit check.

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 the City of McMinnville. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your peddler/solicitor 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.
