Why is an Oregon Motor Vehicle Dealer Bond Required?
The surety bond ensures that the dealer (bonded principal) conducts business without fraud or fraudulent representation, and in accordance with provisions of the Oregon Vehicle Code, ORS 822.030(2).
The surety bond is continuous and remains in effect for the entire period in which a dealer certificate has been issued by the Oregon Department of Transportation, and each succeeding certification period. The bond may be depleted over this period by claims paid and may be also canceled by the surety company through advance written notice to the Driver and Motor Vehicle Services Division of the Oregon Department of Transportation.
