How Does a Hancock County Transient Vendor Bond Work?

A transient vendor bond creates a legal contract between these three parties: 

  1. Principal: You, the vendor filing the bond
  2. Obligee: The Hancock County Board of Supervisors requiring the bond
  3. Surety: The provider issuing the bond

This holds you financially responsible for upholding the provisions of Mississippi Code, Title 21, Chapter 19. 

If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you must ultimately refund the surety. 

How Do I Renew My Bond?

These bonds expire annually. To renew your Hancock county transient vendor bond bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted. 

We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
