About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A City of Sevierville peddler / transient vendor bond is a consumer-protection guarantee tied to your vending permit. With Sevierville's heavy seasonal and tourist traffic, the City conditions the permit on a $1,000 bond so customers have a financial backstop if a permitted vendor defrauds them or breaks the permit's terms.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Sevierville (the obligee), with the customers you sell to as the protected parties. If a vendor violates the City's vending rules and a customer 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. Vendors who follow the rules treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Sevierville peddler / vendor bond? +
The premium is $275 — our flat minimum. 3% of the $1,000 penal sum is only $30, so the minimum applies. The $1,000 amount is set by the City, so there is no quote process.
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.
Does this cover transient/seasonal vendors? +
Yes — the City of Sevierville bond covers peddlers, solicitors, and transient vendors on the same $1,000 form. If you return each season, a multi-year term saves you re-filing.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount permit bonds like this one don't need one.
Where do I file it? +
With the City of Sevierville, alongside your peddler / transient vendor permit application. We deliver the executed bond by email, ready to submit.
