The Florida Motor Vehicle Dealer bond is required by Florida’s Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. The bond states that the bondholder shall fully comply with the conditions of any written contract made in connection with the sale or exchange of a motor vehicle. Bonds shall be in the 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 State of Florida requires motor vehicle, mobile home and recreational vehicle dealers be licensed with the state. The Motor Vehicle Dealer Bond is part of the licensing process.
A Vehicle Franchised dealer wishes to sell new motor vehicles under an established agreement. Whereas, the Vehicle Independent dealer is one who buys, sells or deasl in used motor vehicles. A Motor Vehicle Dealer bond in the amount of $25,000 is required for both licenses.
