Motor Vehicle Dealers - New or New and Used Vehicles

The State of Utah Motor Vehicle Dealer, Crusher or Body Shop Bond is a surety bond required for businesses engaged in motor vehicle sales, crushing operations, or body shop services within Utah. This bond ensures compliance with state regulations governing the motor vehicle industry.

Motor vehicle dealers selling new or used vehicles, auto crushers, and body shops must obtain this bond as part of their licensing requirements with the State of Utah. The bond amount varies based on the type and scope of operations, with coverage levels of $10,000, $20,000, or $75,000.

This bond protects the State of Utah and consumers from financial losses resulting from fraudulent business practices, failure to comply with state motor vehicle laws, or other violations of licensing requirements. If a bonded business fails to meet its obligations, affected parties can file claims against the bond for compensation.

The bond term is one year and is renewable annually. When applying for this bond, a principal county must be designated, as applications without this information will be rejected by the state obligee.
