Pierce County peddler bonds.
$100 flat.
Pierce County requires a peddler or solicitor licensee with ten or fewer employees to post a $1,000 bond as a condition of the county license (Pierce County Code 5.10.070; more than ten employees means the $2,000 bond) — ours is $100 flat, the price our carrier sets for this exact bond, no quote round-trip. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A peddler/solicitor bond is a consumer-protection guarantee. Pierce County licenses people who sell door-to-door or solicit in the unincorporated county, and it wants a financial backstop that you'll follow the county's peddler and solicitation rules and deal honestly with residents.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Pierce County (the obligee), with the residents you sell to as the protected parties. If you violate the county ordinance or harm a customer through fraud or misrepresentation, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the term of your license. Let it lapse and the county can suspend or refuse to renew the license — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $1,000 filing continuous.
