About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

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.

City of Denison Code of Ordinances, Chapter 15The City of Denison requires a person selling or soliciting door-to-door to apply to the City Secretary for a peddler's or solicitor's license and file a $1,000 surety bond; the rules for door-to-door solicitation are set out in Chapter 15 of the City of Denison Code of Ordinances. Confirm current terms with the City Secretary when you file.

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 City Secretary. 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.

What sets the price
