Oregon motorcycle dealer bond ($2,000).
Legacy amount — confirm first.

This is the older $2,000 figure for an Oregon motorcycle, moped, snowmobile, and Class I ATV dealer bond. Be aware: the current ORS 822.030 amount is $10,000, not $2,000 — Oregon raised it. Only use this page if the DMV has specifically confirmed a $2,000 bond for your situation; otherwise use the $10,000 page. We price it at $100, with one soft credit pull.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

Why this page says "confirm the amount"

Oregon licenses powersports dealers — those selling exclusively motorcycles, mopeds, snowmobiles, and Class I ATVs — through the DMV under ORS 822.030, with a reduced dealer bond. For years that reduced amount was $2,000, the figure this page reflects.

Oregon has since raised it to $10,000. Current sources and the present text of ORS 822.030 set the powersports-only dealer bond at $10,000. We're being upfront: if you file a $2,000 bond when the DMV expects $10,000, your certificate will be held up.

We left this $2,000 version available because some legacy filings and older paperwork still reference it — but for almost every dealer today, the right bond is the $10,000 powersports dealer bond. Use this page only if the DMV has explicitly confirmed $2,000 for you. When in doubt, send us your DMV instructions and we'll point you to the correct amount.

ORS 822.030 (amount increased to $10,000)ORS 822.030 governs the Oregon vehicle-dealer bond. The reduced bond for a dealer holding a certificate exclusively in motorcycles, mopeds, Class I all-terrain vehicles, or snowmobiles is currently $10,000. A $2,000 figure was the former amount before the statute was amended — confirm with the DMV which amount your certificate requires before filing this legacy version.

Is the Oregon powersports dealer bond $2,000 or $10,000?It is $10,000 under the current ORS 822.030. The $2,000 figure on this page is the former amount, kept available for legacy filings. Most dealers today should use the $10,000 bond — confirm with the DMV before filing $2,000.
Why does this page still exist if the amount changed?Some older paperwork and continued legacy bonds still reference $2,000, so we kept a version that matches. But we flag it clearly: for almost everyone, the correct current bond is $10,000.
