What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Florida established a pilot rebuilt motor vehicle inspection program under §319.141, Fla. Stat., letting existing private-sector operators conduct rebuilt-vehicle inspections under a memorandum of understanding with the FLHSMV — initially evaluated in Miami-Dade County. Operators in the program must maintain a $100,000 surety bond or irrevocable letter of credit.
The bond stands behind the operator’s proper conduct of rebuilt inspections — the checks that confirm a salvage-rebuilt vehicle is roadworthy and properly documented before a rebuilt title issues. It protects the state and the public against an operator that fails to perform inspections properly.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Because this is a pilot program with a limited scope, confirm your facility is an eligible participant before you bond; we issue the $100,000 amount at $1,000 flat once you are in the program.
