What it is and who needs it.
What the itinerant vendor bond covers
An itinerant vendor is a traveling or temporary seller — someone who sets up in a city for a limited time rather than running a fixed local storefront. The City of Clifton conditions an itinerant vendor permit on a surety bond so that customers have recourse if the vendor takes money and fails to deliver, or leaves town with an unresolved complaint.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Clifton (the obligee), with Clifton customers protected. If a vendor defrauds a buyer or violates the permit terms, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
The City sets the penal sum. Whatever amount appears on your permit, we price the bond at 1% of that amount, with a $100 minimum — and if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.

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 Clifton. Submit the executed bond with your itinerant vendor permit application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the City insists on them.
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.
