The City of Aledo, TX regulates door-to-door solicitors and peddlers and conditions its solicitation permit on a surety bond. The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it stands behind your honest dealing with residents — accurate representations, delivery of what is paid for, and compliance with the city solicitation rules.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Aledo (the obligee), with Aledo residents protected. If a solicitor takes a deposit and never delivers, or otherwise violates the permit, a harmed resident can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Solicitors who deal straight with residents treat the bond as a permit formality. We issue the amount the city set starting from $100, with no credit check up to $5,000 on the application.
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 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
File with the City of Aledo. Submit the executed bond with your solicitor / peddler permit application at the city. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $5,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
Submit the application with the bond amount the City of Aledo set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file with your permit.
