Auto dealer surety bonds (also called motor vehicle dealer bonds) are mandated by the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) as part of the licensing requirements for dealerships to conduct business in the state. The BMV sets the total bond amount at $25,000.
The surety company determines your premium rate, which is the percentage of the total bond amount you pay as the premium. Premium rates for Ohio auto dealer bonds typically cost between 1% and 3% of the total bond amount.
During the application process, the surety company evaluates your personal credit, financial statements, industry experience, and licensing history. Applicants with good credit generally receive the lowest rates, however, bad credit will not prevent you from securing an Ohio auto dealer bond. EZSurety still offers competitive rates to individuals with low credit scores or other financial issues.

Ohio auto dealer bonds provide protection for customers, creditors, and the state government. When an Ohio motor vehicle dealer posts a surety bond, they provide a guarantee to the bond’s Obligee (the Ohio BMV) that they will conduct business in compliance with the conditions listed in the Ohio Revised Code § 4505.181 and Ohio Administrative Code 4501:1-3-11.
If the auto dealer fails to comply with the code, the surety company will pay out financial losses to damaged parties up to the full bond amount. The auto dealer is liable to reimburse the surety for any damages paid under the bond.
