The City of Sulphur Springs requires a $2,000 itinerant vendor bond before you sell door-to-door or from a temporary location in the city. 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.
















Municipal vendor 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 municipal vendor bonds like this issue right after purchase for most applicants. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your City of Sulphur Springs vendor permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
An itinerant vendor bond is a consumer-protection guarantee to the City of Sulphur Springs. Because transient and door-to-door sellers move on quickly, the City wants a financial backstop that you'll deal honestly with residents — deliver what you sell and honor refunds — and follow the City's vendor rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Sulphur Springs (the obligee), with City residents as the protected parties. If you take a resident's money and fail to deliver, or violate the vendor ordinance, the harmed customer can recover against the bond up to $2,000.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Honest vendors treat the bond as a permit formality, and we keep your filing continuous with renewal reminders.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this application doesn't collect credit information.
