The Georgia Used Motor Vehicle Dealer Bond goes by several names depending on where you look.

You may also see it called:

• Georgia Auto Dealer Bond
• GA Used Car Dealer Bond
• Georgia Motor Vehicle Dealer Bond
• Used Auto Dealer Bond
• GA Dealer Bond

These all refer to the same $50,000 surety bond described on this page. Georgia Used Motor Vehicle Dealer Bond is simply the formal name used on the official bond form and by the Georgia State Board of Registration of Used Motor Vehicle Dealers and Used Motor Vehicle Parts Dealers.

The State of Georgia requires this license and permit surety bond before a business can be licensed as a used motor vehicle dealer.

Specifically, the bond protects consumers by providing a financial guarantee that licensed dealers will comply with Georgia law and fulfill their obligations when selling used motor vehicles. In addition, it gives purchasers recourse if a dealer makes certain fraudulent misrepresentations regarding a vehicle’s title or existing liens.

However, unlike traditional insurance, a surety bond does not protect the dealer. Instead, it guarantees that the dealer will comply with Georgia’s licensing requirements and conduct business honestly and ethically.

You must obtain a Georgia Used Motor Vehicle Dealer Bond if you are:

• Applying for your first Georgia Used Motor Vehicle Dealer License
• Renewing your Georgia Used Motor Vehicle Dealer License
• Operating a business that must hold a license from the Georgia State Board of Registration of Used Motor Vehicle Dealers and Used Motor Vehicle Parts Dealers

Because of this, you must maintain an active bond to keep your dealer license in good standing and remain compliant with Georgia law.

The Georgia Used Motor Vehicle Dealer Bond helps protect consumers and promote ethical business practices within the state’s used motor vehicle industry.

As a result, requiring licensed dealers to maintain a surety bond, Georgia helps:

• Protect purchasers from certain financial losses resulting from fraudulent misrepresentations regarding a vehicle’s title or existing liens
• Encourage licensed dealers to comply with Georgia’s laws and regulations governing used motor vehicle sales
• Promote honesty, accountability, and consumer confidence in the used motor vehicle marketplace

Ultimately, by maintaining an active surety bond, licensed dealers demonstrate their commitment to complying with Georgia law and protecting the consumers they serve.

Rates start as low as $240 for a two-year term. The exact cost of a Georgia Used Motor Vehicle Dealer Bond is a small percentage of the $50,000 bond amount and varies based on several underwriting factors.

For instance, several factors can influence your premium, including:

• Personal credit history
• Business experience
• Home ownership
• Net Worth

At American Surety Bonds Agency, we work with a wide array of markets — from preferred clients to non-traditional clients and everyone in between — to help find the right rate for your Georgia Used Motor Vehicle Dealer Bond.

The Georgia Used Motor Vehicle Dealer Bond renews every two years and expires on September 30 of each even-numbered year. Dealers must maintain an active Georgia Used Motor Vehicle Dealer License by ensuring their bond remains in effect through each renewal period.

If you’re applying for the first time outside a renewal window, your initial bond term may run for less than two full years so it lines up with this cycle.

Because the licensing process requires this bond, letting it expire could delay your license renewal or affect your ability to continue operating as a licensed used motor vehicle dealer in Georgia.

Although most bond renewals can be completed quickly, it’s a good idea to begin the process before the September 30 deadline. That way, you’ll have time to complete the application, respond to any underwriting requests, and submit the bond before your license renewal is due.
