About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the solicitor bond actually covers

The City of McKinney licenses solicitors and itinerant vendors, and conditions the permit on a bond — a surety bond is one of the forms the city accepts. The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee — it stands behind your honest dealing with the residents you solicit or sell to within the city.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of McKinney (the obligee), with the residents you sell to as the protected parties. If you take deposits and fail to deliver, or violate the city's solicitation rules, a harmed resident can recover against the bond.

Enter the bond amount named in the City of McKinney solicitor packet or on your permit paperwork, and we issue the bond starting from $100, with the application collecting no credit check up to $25,000.

City of McKinney — Police Department (Solicitor Permits)The City of McKinney requires this bond as a condition of its solicitor / itinerant vendor permit; the McKinney Police Department administers the permit, and its solicitor packet sets the required bond and lets an applicant satisfy it with a cash bond, a surety bond, or a certificate of liability insurance naming the city. Confirm the required amount with the McKinney Police Department before filing.

After you buy

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 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.

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 of McKinney. Submit the executed bond with your solicitor / itinerant vendor permit application at the City of McKinney. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.

What sets the price

The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.

No credit check up to $25,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.

Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.

One application, issued on the spot.

Submit the application with the bond amount the City of McKinney set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
