Detailed Information About the Colorado Solicitor Bond:

What "solicitor" means here

This bond is for commercial solicitors, the people who go door to door selling products or services or taking orders for later delivery. It has nothing to do with lawyers. Morrison is a small town in Jefferson County, and it regulates business activity through Title 3 of the Town Code, which covers business licenses and regulations.

What the bond does

The bond is a promise from a surety company to the Town of Morrison. If a solicitor breaks the town's rules or takes money from a resident and does not deliver what was promised, the town or the harmed resident can make a claim against the bond. The surety pays valid claims up to the bond amount and then collects that money back from the solicitor. The bond protects residents. It does not protect the solicitor.

Who posts it

The business doing the soliciting posts the bond in its own name. Companies sending crews into Morrison should check with the Town Clerk whether one bond covers the whole crew or each person needs to be named.

Before you file

The town's general business license runs one calendar year from the date of application, costs $75 for a new license and $40 to renew, and includes a Colorado Bureau of Investigation check. Confirm the current bond amount, the bond form and the filing steps with the Morrison Town Clerk at Town Hall, 321 Highway 8, or 303-697-8749, before the bond is issued.

What it costs

You pay the surety a premium, not the full bond amount. The surety sets the premium after looking at the owner's credit and business history.
