Not in Texas? Browse bonds by state
The City of Woodway licenses solicitors through its chief of police before you go door to door inside city limits, and the city names any bond it requires with your permit. Whatever amount the city sets, pricing starts from $100 — smaller bond amounts price at the $100 minimum, and your exact price appears at the application.
















No underwriting queue for the standard solicitor bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the city. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount the city required, and the effective date — that is the application.
Smaller bond amounts price at the $100 minimum — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. No credit check up to $25,000.
Deliver the executed bond to the city with your solicitor license application. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
The City of Woodway licenses solicitors who sell door to door through its chief of police, and where the city 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 Woodway (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.
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 Woodway. Deliver the executed bond to the city with your solicitor license application. 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 $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.
Submit the application with the bond amount the City of Woodway required — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
