Obtaining an Indiana motor vehicle dealer bond is an essential step in the licensing process of your dealership. An Indiana motor vehicle merchandising bond is a type of surety bond required by the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) for individuals or businesses engaging in the sale of motor vehicles. This bond serves as a financial guarantee to ensure that the dealer operates ethically and complies with state laws and regulations governing the vehicle merchandising sector.
The surety bond guaranteed that the dealer will comply with the laws, ordinances and resolutions that govern the dealership business. This dealer bond runs to to the Indiana Secretary of State and can be claimed upon to reimburse the state for fines, penalties, costs and fees associated with the claim(s). The surety bond form more specifically guarantees the dealer's compliance with IC §9-32 but requires a judgment rendered in favor of the complainant. Surety bonds and application materials must be submitted to:
