What this bond does
This offering addresses the roadside vendor program's performance security. It is part of the county's permit conditions, separate from a business tax receipt, liability coverage, and permission to use a vending location.
- Who needs it
- A roadside vendor seeking or maintaining a permit under Palm Beach County's roadside vendor program. Confirm jurisdiction and location eligibility before applying the county program to a particular road.
- Who it protects
- The county's ordinance requires performance security tied to the permittee and covered locations. Its conditions address the vendor's obligations; the bond is not general liability insurance for injuries involving the vending operation.

Questions about this bond
Is the $2,000 figure the cost of purchasing this bond?
No. It is the minimum performance security in the posted ordinance. The provider determines the premium, and this option does not publish a quoted price.
Can different vendors share one bond?
The posted ordinance limits a bond or other security to one permittee. Ask the county how that permittee's covered locations must be listed.
Can I reuse the dates in the county's 2025 packet?
Do not use an expired application year's dates for a new permit. Obtain the current county instructions and make the security extend through or beyond the actual permit expiration.
Does the bond replace liability insurance or location approval?
No. Performance security, liability coverage and authorization for the vending location are separate parts of the program.
