What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A solicitor-license bond is a consumer-protection guarantee. The City of Evansville licenses door-to-door solicitors and peddlers, and the bond gives residents a financial backstop if a solicitor takes a deposit and disappears or breaks the terms of the sale.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Evansville (the obligee), with the city's residents as the protected parties. A resident harmed by a violation of the solicitor ordinance can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and the City can pull the license — so we track it and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $500 filing continuous.
