About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A peddler bond is a consumer-protection guarantee. Peddlers and itinerant merchants sell goods away from a fixed storefront — the Town of Blackstone wants a financial backstop that you will deal honestly, deliver what you sell, and follow the Town ordinance while operating within its limits.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Blackstone (the obligee), with the buying public as the protected parties. If you take payment and fail to deliver, or otherwise violate the peddler ordinance, a harmed customer can recover against the $5,000 bond.

The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and the Town can pull your peddler license — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your filing continuous.
