Ours is $100, the price our carrier sets for the $10,000 bond amount, and the application is quick. Elgin's form runs a soft credit check that does not affect your score.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A City of Elgin solicitor / peddler bond is a consumer-protection guarantee. When you sell door-to-door or peddle goods inside the city, Elgin wants a financial backstop that you'll follow its solicitation ordinance and deal honestly with residents.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Elgin (the obligee), with the residents you sell to as the protected parties. If you violate the city's solicitation rules or defraud a customer, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your permit. Let it lapse and your solicitor / peddler permit can be suspended — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your filing continuous.
