Bonds shall be in favor of any person who suffers a loss or damages resulting from the bondholder’s failure to comply with the conditions of the bond. The bond has a common renewal date of April 1.
The State of Florida requires motor vehicle dealers, mobile home dealers and recreational vehicle dealers be licensed with the state. The Motor Vehicle Dealer Bond is part of the licensing process.
