The City of West University Place requires door-to-door peddlers and solicitors to file a $1,000 bond as a condition of a solicitation permit. Ours is $100 flat, issued instantly. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















Municipal permit bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Your details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit fields, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Permit 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 West University Place solicitation permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A peddler / solicitor bond is a consumer-protection guarantee to the City of West University Place. When you go door to door selling goods or taking orders, the city wants a financial backstop that you will follow its solicitation ordinance and deal honestly with residents.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of West University Place (the obligee), with the residents you call on as the protected parties. If a peddler takes a deposit and never delivers, or otherwise violates the solicitation ordinance, 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 solicitors treat the bond as a permit formality, and we keep your $1,000 filing continuous with renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.
These are the actual issuing fields — the application collects no credit information for this bond.
