DESCRIPTION:
Dublin Municipal Code Chapter 4.16 requires solicitors and peddlers operating within the City to obtain a

except for those persons engaged in interstate commerce, shall provide a cash deposit or bond to the City.
The cash deposit or bond is intended to provide a source of recompense to any resident aggrieved by the
conduct or actions of a solicitor, and who seeks to recover either money advanced to a solicitor, or the
costs of any damages suffered due to the actions of the solicitor. The deposit or bond amount shall remain
in full force or effect for ninety days after the expiration of the permit issued under the chapter.
Chapter 4.16 provides that the amount of the cash deposit or bond shall be in an amount established by
resolution of the City Council upon recommendation of the Chief of Police. Based on research of
surrounding jurisdictions and insurance industry standards, the Chief of Police recommends a cash deposit
or bond amount for solicitor permits in the amount of $5,000.00.
