The City of Pearland requires a surety bond as a condition of registering as a peddler or solicitor, the door-to-door and itinerant sellers the City regulates through its permit process. The City sets the bond amount, and pricing is 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum.
















No underwriting queue for the standard peddler bond — enter your amount, pay, and take the executed bond to City Hall. Here is the whole thing:
Your details, the bond amount the City of Pearland required, and the effective date — that is the application.
Most applications approve instantly with no waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. Above $25,000, a soft pull may add a short review.
Submit the executed bond with your peddler/solicitor permit application at City Hall. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
The City of Pearland regulates door-to-door sales through a peddler and solicitor permit, and conditions that permit on a surety bond filed with the City. The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with the City’s peddler ordinance and protects residents who buy from you.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Pearland together with the residents you sell to (the protected parties). If a peddler takes money and fails to deliver, or violates the City’s sales rules, a harmed resident can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Honest sellers treat the bond as a permit formality. We issue whatever amount the City names, from $100, and 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 Pearland. Submit the executed bond with your peddler/solicitor permit application at City Hall. 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 Pearland required — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
