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 check.
















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 is the application. No credit check.
Small fixed-amount license bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase.
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.
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.
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.

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.
