What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
An itinerant vendor / peddler bond is a consumer-protection guarantee to the City of Ballinger and the residents you sell to. The City wants a financial backstop that a transient seller will deliver what's paid for and follow the City's solicitation rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Ballinger (the obligee), with the buying public as the protected parties. If a vendor takes money and fails to deliver, or violates the City's peddler ordinance, a harmed resident can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of the permit. We track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, so your $1,000 filing stays continuous and your peddler permit keeps clearing.

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. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the City of Ballinger when you apply for your peddler permit. 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.
