What it is and who needs it.
What the vendor bond actually covers
The Village of Hobart licenses itinerant and transient vendors — sellers who move through town rather than operate from a fixed storefront — and conditions that license on a surety bond. The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it backs your honest dealing with Hobart residents and your compliance with the Village's vendor rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Hobart together with the residents you sell to as the protected parties. If a buyer is harmed by a violation of the licensed activity — a fraudulent sale, an undelivered order — they can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Because there is no single statutory figure published online, we issue the exact amount the Village names on your license, with pricing 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 Village of Hobart. Submit the executed bond with your vendor-license application to the Village of Hobart. 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.
