What is a Tennessee Motor Vehicle Dealer Bond?

Auto dealer bonds in the state of Tennessee are required before the dealer can conduct business. The bond amount required is $50,000.00. A motor vehicle dealer bond, similar to other surety bonds, acts as an agreement between three separate parties the vehicle dealer (principal), the Tennessee Department of Motor Vehicles (obligee), and the surety company. Any illegal actions or fraud committed by the operating vehicle dealer that violates licensing regulatory statutes allows the consumer, who was financially harmed, to claim against the surety bond.
