The City of Denison requires a peddler or solicitor to file a $1,000 bond with the City Secretary to get a license to sell door-to-door. Ours is $100 flat, set by our carrier's rate book for this bond. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















A peddler/solicitor license bond is one of the simplest things in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Small fixed-amount license bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the City of Denison City Secretary with your peddler/solicitor license application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The City of Denison requires anyone selling goods or services, or soliciting donations, door-to-door to obtain a peddler's or solicitor's license from the City Secretary and to file a $1,000 surety bond. It's a consumer-protection guarantee: it stands behind your following the City's door-to-door rules and dealing honestly with residents.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Denison (the obligee), with harmed residents as the protected parties. If a peddler takes money and fails to deliver, or violates the City's solicitation ordinance, the harmed resident can recover against the bond.
The license is issued by the City Secretary and is generally valid for one year. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
These are the actual issuing fields — the application collects no credit information, because this bond doesn't need it.
