The City of Sevierville requires a $1,000 surety bond as a condition of its peddler, solicitor, and transient vendor permit, filed with the City. Ours is $275 flat — 3% of the $1,000 penal sum is below our minimum, so you pay the minimum. The application is five minutes.
















Permit bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit check section.
Small permit bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your City of Sevierville peddler/transient vendor permit application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$1,000 bond × 3% = $30, which is below our $275 minimum — so the price is $275, one-time per term. Multi-year if you want it.
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.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
