Vermont Motor Vehicle Dealer BondMotor vehicle dealers are required to post a 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.

 

Surety Bond

  • Required by: Vermont Commissioner of Motor Vehicles
  • Minimum Bond Amount: $20,000
  • Maximum Bond Amount: $35,000
  • Valid: Renewable

The price for the bond, also known as the bond premium, is only a small fraction of the bond amount.

The specific bond amount is determined by the amount of vehicles sold annually:

  • 25 or less vehicles- $20,000
  • 25-100 vehicles- $25,000
  • 101-250 vehicles- $30,000
  • 251 + vehicles- $35,000

This bond guarantees the principal will abide by all Vermont state laws and regulations along with the rules outlined in 23 V.S.A. Chapters 7 and 21 as well as 32 V.S.A. Chapter 219 of the Vermont Statutes Annotated.

The applicant should verify the bond amount with the obligee before applying for the bond to ensure the bond amount is correct.
