Overview
Pleasant Hill residents and visitors deserve protection when someone comes knocking to sell goods or services door to door. This bond gives the City of Pleasant Hill a financial guarantee that peddlers and solicitors operating within city limits will conduct business honestly and comply with local ordinances. If a covered individual causes harm through fraud, misrepresentation, or regulatory violations, an injured party has recourse through the bond. It is a condition of doing business as a peddler or solicitor in Pleasant Hill — not optional.
Who Needs This Bond?
Peddlers, solicitors, and traveling salespeople who plan to sell goods or services door to door, on public streets, or at temporary locations within Pleasant Hill, Iowa need this bond.

If your sales activity brings you into Pleasant Hill and you are not operating from a fixed, permitted retail location, this bond almost certainly applies to you.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects Pleasant Hill residents from financial harm caused by dishonest or non-compliant peddlers and solicitors.
