What is a Solicitor Bond?

A solicitor bond, also known as paid solicitor surety bond, is a mandatory license and permit surety bond required for any person or institution that practices professional solicitations. This bond will ensure that solicitors are following all the provisions of their licenses.

 

Normally, before any solicitations, solicitors must disclose their organization’s information to the donor through printed material. They must also indicate their organization’s name as registered with the Attorney General and that they are a commercial fundraiser. Paid solicitors must also file a bond with the California Attorney General.

 

What is the San Bernardino City Solicitor Bond?

Before the conduct of any soliciting activities within the City of San Bernardino, involved individuals and organizations must secure a solicitor bond. This bond will guarantee that applicants or solicitors will adhere to the rightful conduct of their activities to meet the corresponding City rules, regulations, standards, ordinances, and statutes.

 

How does it work?

The City of San Bernardino Solicitor Bond must be posted to the California Attorney General and issued by a surety bond provider certified by the Department of Insurance of California. The parties in the agreement are the Principal (permit applicant or professional solicitor), Obligee (City of San Bernardino), and Surety/Bond Company or Obligor (surety bond provider or insurance).

 

The Surety Company will guarantee the compensation (performance bond) of the Obligee should the Principal fail to deliver agreed-upon services or violate any licensing provisions. The Surety Company will receive and assess the validity of all public claims where claims may only amount to the total penal sum arranged in the bond form. The Principal shall reimburse all expenses covered by the Surety Company.

 

The Bond Company is secured through an indemnity agreement as the permit applicant or licensed business will ensure the full reimbursement of the claims, including legal fees and premiums. This agreement shall be made before the execution of the bond.

 

How much does it cost?

The Solicitor Bond of the City of San Bernardino is normally at 0.5% of the total bond amount. Although the city does not require credit checks for this bond, surety providers will conduct their own credit reports as part of their underwriting.
