The City of McKinney requires a solicitor / itinerant vendor bond for a permit to solicit or sell within the city. The city sets the amount on your permit — pricing is from $100, with your exact price shown at the application. Pricing is set at 1% of your bond amount, with a $100 minimum.
















No underwriting queue for the standard solicitor bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the city. Here is the whole thing:
Your details, the bond amount the city required, and the effective date — that is the application.
No waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. Most applicants qualify instantly. Above $25,000, a soft pull may add a short review.
Submit the executed bond with your solicitor / itinerant vendor permit application at the City of McKinney. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Submit the application with the bond amount the City of McKinney set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
