What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Colorado licenses motor vehicle and powersports salespeople through the Department of Revenue's Auto Industry Division and the Motor Vehicle Dealer Board. Before a salesperson license issues, the applicant must file a $15,000 surety bond (or an equivalent deposit) approved as to form by the attorney general.
The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it is a three-party arrangement between you (the principal), the surety, and the state and harmed buyers as the protected parties. If a salesperson violates Colorado’s vehicle sales laws and a buyer is harmed, the buyer can recover against the bond.
It is separate from the dealer's $50,000 bond. The salesperson bond covers you individually; the dealership carries its own bond. The surety's aggregate liability for any one license year is capped at $15,000 — and if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
