Why is South Dakota Motor Vehicle Dealer Bond Required?

Surety bonds protect the consumer, not, the business. Posting a bond acts as a contract between the auto dealer, the surety company, and the state, which says that you will conduct legal business with no fraudulent actions. South Dakota’s motor vehicle bond states that you must do business in line with the laws of the state. This specific bond is continuous until canceled, it can be canceled by the surety giving written notice to the Department of Revenue which would come valid 30 days after being sent.
