Detailed Information About the Colorado Peddler / Solicitor ($1,000) Bond:

Who needs this bond

The Lochbuie code defines peddling and soliciting broadly. It covers going from place to place, house to house or street to street taking or attempting to take orders for goods, merchandise or personal property of any kind for future delivery, or for services to be performed or furnished in the future. It also covers peddling, selling or offering goods for immediate sale. That means door to door sellers of roofing, solar, pest control, security systems and similar services need the license and the bond, not just people selling products out of a vehicle.

What the code requires

Sec. 6-1-140 makes it unlawful to conduct or engage in the businesses it lists without first obtaining a license and paying the fee. Item 9 covers peddlers and solicitors and ends with the sentence "A bond is required." The application also states that no license will be issued to anyone who is not over the age of eighteen and of good moral character and financial responsibility. Solicitors and peddlers must exhibit their licenses at the request of any citizen of the town.

The bond and the license fee

The bond amount is $1,000 with the Town of Lochbuie as obligee. It guarantees that the licensee will follow the town's licensing ordinance while working in Lochbuie, giving the town and its residents a source of recovery if the licensee does not. The license fee is not fixed in the code. It is set by resolution of the Board of Trustees, so confirm the current fee and the town's preferred bond form with Town Hall before the bond is issued.

Premium

The premium is a small charge set by the surety after a review of the applicant's credit and history. Because the bond amount is only $1,000, most applicants are approved quickly.
