What it is and who needs it.
What the Lakewood bond actually covers
The City of Lakewood licenses door-to-door peddlers and solicitors and conditions the license on a surety bond. The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it stands behind your honest dealing with residents and your compliance with the City peddler/solicitor rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Lakewood (the obligee), with the residents you sell to as the protected parties. If you take deposits and fail to deliver, or otherwise violate the 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 peddlers and solicitors treat the bond as a license formality. The City sets the amount; pricing starts from $100, and no credit check up to $25,000.

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 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.
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 City of Lakewood. Submit the executed bond with your peddler / solicitor license application to the City of Lakewood. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $25,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
