What is a DC Auto Dealer Bond?

The Washington, District of Columbia (DC) Motor Vehicle Dealer bond is a License Surety Bond that serves to protect Washington, DC's citizens by providing a path for recourse in situations where an Auto Dealer does not adhere to the laws, rules, and regulations as set in Washington, DC legal statutes.

To understand how a DC motor vehicle surety bond works, it's helpful to familiarize yourself with the fundamentals of surety bonds. Every surety bond follows the same basic structure, which involves three parties:

  • The obligee, which is the party that requires the bond. In this case, it's the District of Columbia, requiring the bond on behalf of its citizens.
  • The principal, which is the party that needs to be bonded. That's you, the auto dealer, who is looking to set up shop in DC. The principal has an obligation to adhere to certain rules and regulations set forth by the obligee.
  • The surety issues the surety bond and steps in when a claim is made against it. If the obligee is determined to have a valid claim, then the surety will issue financial compensation. The principal is then responsible for paying back the surety for the dispersed funds.
