What it is and who needs it.
What the itinerant vendor bond actually covers
A City of Sherman itinerant vendor bond is a consumer-protection guarantee tied to temporary and traveling sales. It stands behind your promise to follow the City of Sherman's itinerant vendor ordinance and to deal honestly with the residents you sell to during your time in the city.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Sherman (the obligee), with city residents as the protected parties. If you take payment and fail to deliver, or violate the city's vendor rules, a harmed resident can claim against the bond.
Because the City sets the figure on your permit rather than a single fixed amount, you enter the amount you were given and your premium is 1% of that amount, with a $100 minimum. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. At the $1,000–$10,000 amounts most vendors use, the $100 minimum applies to every applicant.

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 Sherman. Submit the executed bond with your City of Sherman itinerant vendor permit application. 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.
