What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A motor vehicle broker arranges or negotiates the sale of vehicles on behalf of a buyer or seller without taking title to the vehicles. Arizona licenses brokers through ADOT and, like wholesale-only dealers, sets a reduced $25,000 bond under A.R.S. § 28-4362.
The bond runs to the State of Arizona as obligee and stands behind the broker’s statutory duties — including the proper handling of customer funds and fees in the transactions the broker arranges, and compliance with the motor vehicle dealer and broker law.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Brokers who handle customer money cleanly and meet their disclosure duties treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.
