About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of Shenandoah permits peddlers and solicitors who sell door to door, and conditions that permit on a surety bond. The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it stands behind your honest dealing with residents and your compliance with the city's solicitation ordinance.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Shenandoah (the obligee), with residents as the protected parties. If a solicitor takes a deposit and fails to deliver, misrepresents a sale, or violates the city's rules, a harmed resident can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the city set, ready to file, with pricing from $100 — no credit check up to $25,000, and smaller bond amounts price at the $100 minimum.

After you buy

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 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.

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 of Shenandoah. Deliver the executed bond to the city with your peddler / solicitor permit application. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.

What sets the price

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 $25,000. 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.

One application, issued on the spot.

Submit the application with the bond amount the City of Shenandoah required — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
