Motor vehicle dealers in Pennsylvania are required to post a Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Dealer Bond as part of the process to license the dealership. The amount of the bond depends on what
type of vehicles are to be sold, the amount of vehicles you plan to sell, and other factors. Read our Car Dealer License Guide to learn more about how to get your dealership licensed and bonded.
The price for the bond, also known as the bond premium, is only a small fraction of the bond amount.
The applicant should verify the bond amount with the obligee before applying for the bond to ensure the bond amount is correct.
If the bond is cancelled, the obligee must be notified of the cancellation at least 60 days before the cancellation date.
This bond guarantees the principal will abide by all Pennsylvania state laws and regulations.

State licensing fees and requirements:
All licensing fees are required by the obligee, not the surety company. Licenses must be renewed by May 31st of every odd-numbered year. This is required by the obligee, not the surety company.
