What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Mississippi licenses motor vehicle dealers through the Mississippi Motor Vehicle Commission, and conditions the license on a $25,000 surety bond under Miss. Code §63-17-75. The bond is a consumer-and-public-protection guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with the Mississippi Motor Vehicle Commission Law.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the State of Mississippi together with harmed buyers (the protected parties). The bond is an indemnity for any loss sustained by a person by reason of acts that would be grounds for suspension or revocation of the dealer license.
If you operate at multiple locations, the statute lets you post a single $100,000 bond covering all locations of the same capacity in lieu of separate $25,000 bonds. Send us your situation and we'll issue the right one — it is not insurance for you, so if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
