Motor Vehicle Dealers - Used Vehicles Only

The State of Utah Bond of Motor Vehicle Dealer, Crusher or Body Shop 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 motor vehicle regulations and licensing requirements.

Motor vehicle dealers (particularly used vehicle dealers), auto crushers, and body shops must obtain this bond as part of their licensing process with the State of Utah. The bond serves as a financial guarantee that these businesses will operate in accordance with Utah's motor vehicle laws and regulations.

The bond protects the State of Utah and consumers from financial losses that may result from the principal's failure to comply with applicable laws, fraudulent practices, or other violations of their licensing requirements. Coverage amounts vary based on the type of operation: $10,000, $20,000, or $75,000.

This is a one-year renewable bond, and businesses must maintain continuous coverage to keep their licenses active. When applying, a "Principal County" must be specified, as bonds submitted without this information will be rejected by the state obligee.
