Stafford County, Virginia conditions a door-to-door solicitor or peddler permit on a fixed $1,000 bond filed with the County. Pricing is $100 flat — your exact price appears at the short application. The application collects no credit information.
















Permit 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.
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 the Stafford County Commissioner of the Revenue for your solicitor / peddler permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A solicitor / peddler bond is a consumer-protection guarantee. When you sell door-to-door in Stafford County, the County wants a financial backstop that you'll deal honestly with residents and follow the County's solicitation rules — so a homeowner who's defrauded or harmed has somewhere to turn.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Stafford County (the obligee), with the County's residents as the protected parties. If a permitted solicitor violates the County's peddler ordinance and a resident is harmed, that person can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your permit. Let it lapse and the County can pull the permit — so we track it and notify you ahead of expiration, keeping your $1,000 filing continuous.
These are the actual issuing fields — the application collects no credit information.
