What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Prince William County requires anyone acting as a peddler, solicitor or itinerant vendor to hold a permit issued by the Chief of Police, and conditions that permit on a $5,000 surety bond naming the Board of County Supervisors as obligee. The bond guarantees that a permit holder will comply with the County's peddler ordinance and the state statutes governing peddling, soliciting and itinerant vending.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the County, acting through its Board of County Supervisors (the obligee), with County residents as the protected parties. If money a resident paid isn't accounted for, or goods delivered don't match what was represented, that resident — or the County itself — can bring an action against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond has to stay in force for the full 12-month term of your permit, so we track it and notify you ahead of expiration to keep your filing continuous.

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 $5,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
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 Police Department. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the Prince William County Police Department alongside your peddler, solicitor or itinerant-vendor permit application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $5,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
