Colorado powersports dealer bonds.

Colorado requires every licensed powersports vehicle dealer to file a $50,000 bond with the Auto Industry Division. Ours is $400 flat, set by our carrier for this specific bond — identical for every dealer. A quick soft credit check may apply on approval; it never affects your score. Issued when you pay.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Colorado licenses powersports vehicle dealers — ATVs, motorcycles, snowmobiles, and similar — through the Department of Revenue's Auto Industry Division and Motor Vehicle Dealer Board. The license is conditioned on a $50,000 surety bond, the same amount that applies to motor vehicle dealers.
The bond is a consumer-and-public-protection guarantee: it stands behind clear title on the units you sell and your compliance with Colorado's powersports sales laws. It is a three-party arrangement between you (the principal), the surety, and the state together with harmed buyers as the protected parties.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Dealers who deliver clean title and keep good records treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.
