Auto dealer surety bonds (also called motor vehicle dealer bonds) are mandated by the North Dakota Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division as part of the licensing requirements for dealerships to conduct business in the state. The Motor Vehicle Division 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 North Dakota 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 a North Dakota auto dealer bond. EZSurety still offers competitive rates to individuals with low credit scores or other financial issues.

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.
