About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of Conroe, TX requires a permit before anyone peddles, hawks, solicits or transient-deals within city limits, and Code of Ordinances § 18-155(7) conditions that permit on a $1,000 surety bond filed with the director of community development. The bond is a compliance guarantee: it stands behind any damages a person suffers from wrongful, fraudulent or illegal conduct by the permit holder while engaged in the permitted activity.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the director of community development (the obligee), with members of the public as the protected parties. If a permit holder’s wrongful or fraudulent conduct causes a claimable loss, the harmed person can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The ordinance keeps the bond in force for two years after your permit expires, so most applicants post it once and let it run. We issue it for $100 flat, with no credit check on the application.

City of Conroe Code of Ordinances § 18-155(7)City of Conroe, TX Code of Ordinances § 18-155(7) requires each applicant for a peddler’s, hawker’s, solicitor’s or transient-dealer’s permit under article IV, chapter 18, to file a $1,000 surety bond payable to the director of community development, conditioned on payment of damages arising from wrongful, fraudulent or illegal conduct in the permitted activity, and remaining in force for two years following the permit’s expiration. The permit itself is issued for a 90-day term under § 18-154.

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 director of community development. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your Conroe peddler, hawker, solicitor or transient-dealer permit application. 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.

No credit check.

Do I pay the $1,000?No. You pay $100. The $1,000 is the surety’s maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
