What it is and who needs it.
What the transient vendor bond actually covers
Mississippi's Transient Vendor law (Miss. Code ch. 75-85) governs vendors who sell goods in a county or municipality without a permanent local place of business. A transient vendor may not transact business unless licensed in each county and each municipality where they operate — and the license is issued by the local tax collector.
The bond is filed with that license. It backs your compliance with the transient vendor law and the payment of taxes, fees, and other obligations owed to the local government — a financial backstop so consumers and the jurisdiction aren't left holding the bag if a traveling vendor disappears.
Because the figure is set locally within the statutory framework, the bond amount is whatever your county or municipality names — commonly a $2,000 minimum, which can be tied to a percentage of your inventory's wholesale value. Enter that figure and pricing starts from $100; the application collects no credit information, and pricing is 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum.
