About this bond

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.

Prince William County Code § 18-20Prince William County Code § 18-20 requires every applicant for a peddler, solicitor or itinerant-vendor permit (other than a participant in an itinerant-vendor event whose sponsor has separately bonded under § 18-18) to file a cash or corporate surety bond naming the Board of County Supervisors as obligee in the amount of $5,000, filed with the Chief of Police. Section 18-16 makes the underlying permit itself mandatory before peddling, soliciting or itinerant vending in the County, and § 18-26 sets the permit term at 12 months.
