Itinerant Vendor ($1,000) Bond - Danbury, CT in Connecticut

Brief Summary

Vendors who still go looking for a state itinerant vendor license are chasing a program Connecticut ended in 2018. In Danbury the requirement that matters is local. This $1,000 bond is written to the City of Danbury so you can file with the city and start selling for an annual premium instead of leaving cash on deposit.

The Danbury Itinerant Vendor bond is a $1,000 surety bond posted with the City of Danbury by vendors who sell goods from temporary or moving locations in the city. Connecticut's state itinerant vendor license under C.G.S. 21-27 to 21-35 was repealed effective January 1, 2018 by Public Act 17-75, so the bond now ties to the city's own vendor rules. Confirm the current bond form and filing steps with the City of Danbury before the bond is issued.

Detailed Information About the Connecticut Itinerant Vendor ($1,000) Bond:

The state license is gone, the city requirement is not

Many vendors and older bond pages still point to the Department of Consumer Protection. DCP states that Public Act 17-75 took effect on January 1, 2018 and that the requirement for licensure for itinerant vendors has been repealed. The statute shows the same thing: Sections 21-27 to 21-35 of the Connecticut General Statutes are repealed, effective January 1, 2018. A state filing is no longer the step to take.

What remains is local. Connecticut towns and cities regulate vendors, peddlers and hawkers through their own ordinances, and the City of Danbury is the obligee on this $1,000 bond.

What the bond guarantees

The bond guarantees that the vendor follows the city's rules for selling in Danbury and deals honestly with the people who buy from them. If the vendor violates those rules or harms a customer in a way the bond covers, a claim can be made against it up to $1,000, and the vendor repays the surety.

Before you order the bond

Check with the City of Danbury for the current vendor permit application, the exact obligee wording and any other items the city asks for, such as a health permit for food sales or a location approval. The surety sets the premium on the $1,000 bond, with the owner's credit as the main factor.
