The City of Melissa requires a peddler or solicitor to file a $1,000 surety bond as a condition of its door-to-door sales permit. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















City permit bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Small fixed city bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your City of Melissa peddler / solicitor permit application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A City of Melissa peddler and solicitor bond is a consumer-protection guarantee tied to door-to-door sales. It stands behind your promise to follow the City of Melissa's peddler and solicitation ordinance and to deal honestly with residents who buy from you at their door.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Melissa (the obligee), with city residents as the protected parties. If you take a deposit and fail to deliver, or otherwise violate the city's solicitation rules, a harmed resident can claim against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We track the term and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out so your Melissa permit stays backed.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this bond doesn't have one.
