A business disposal dealer license lets a Colorado business sell off the vehicles in its own fleet without becoming a full retail dealer — and it requires a $50,000 bond with the Auto Industry Division. Ours is $1,500 flat — 3% of the bond amount, identical for every dealer. One soft credit pull, e-signed in 1–2 business days.
















Your business disposal license is waiting on this bond. Here's the entire process — no broker phone tag:
Business details, owner information, effective date. That is the application — the only extra step is a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Most of these clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. The credit check is a soft pull that never affects your score.
Pay online and receive the executed bond (form DR 2830) ready to file with your business disposal dealer license application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists.
$50,000 bond × 3% = $1,500, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
A business disposal dealer is a Colorado license category for a business that needs to sell vehicles out of its own fleet — rental, utility, or company cars — without operating as a retail dealership. The Auto Industry Division conditions the license on a $50,000 surety bond, the same amount as a full dealer.
The bond is a title-and-compliance guarantee: it stands behind clear title on the vehicles you dispose of and your compliance with Colorado's motor vehicle sales laws. It's a three-party arrangement among you (the principal), the surety, and the State of Colorado together with harmed buyers.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Confirm with the Auto Industry Division that the business disposal category fits how you plan to sell — the division can tell you whether this license or a wholesaler license is the right one.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
