About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

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.

City of Melissa — Permits / City SecretaryThe City of Melissa requires this bond as a condition of its peddler / solicitor permit; the $1,000 amount and the bond terms are set by the City of Melissa through its permitting office (City Secretary). We issue the bond on the form the City provides — confirm the current permit requirements with the City of Melissa.
