About this bond

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 the $275 minimum with no credit check.

Do I pay the $1,000? +
No. You pay $275. The $1,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount license bonds like this one don't need one.
