An Auto Dealer Bond is a type of commercial license surety bond. The bond is typically required by departments in state governments that handle vehicle licensing such as the Arizona Department of transportation.
Each state has a set of laws and statutes regarding the operation of auto dealers within that states boundary. The Auto Dealer Bond serves to protect the state by providing a form of guarantee that the licensee, the dealer, will adhere to these state laws.
In an instance where the auto dealer does not adhere to the state laws, a claim may be made on the bond up to the bond penalty, bond amount. In the case of a claim, the Surety, the company providing the guarantee behind the bond, is typically required to pay the penalty amount to the state within a certain time frame if the dealer has not already done so. The Surety will then attempt to collect the paid amount from the dealer. The auto dealer is ultimately financially responsible for any amount paid on the Bond.
