What it is and who needs it.
What the branch auto tag bond actually covers
In Miami-Dade County, a private business can operate as a branch auto tag agency — handling vehicle registrations, titles, and tags for the public on behalf of the Miami-Dade County Tax Collector. The agency collects registration fees, title fees, and sales tax that belong to the County and the state, so the County requires a bond.
The Miami-Dade County Tax Collector oversees each branch agency under a service agreement, and the bond stands behind the County and State money the agency collects. It guarantees the branch agency accounts for and remits the funds it collects and processes title and tag work correctly. If the agency fails to remit or mishandles a transaction, a claim can be made against the bond up to the bonded amount.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. A branch agency that remits on schedule and keeps clean records treats the bond as an appointment formality.
