What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Georgia counties may designate private tag agents — typically dealers or businesses authorized to issue license plates, decals, and titles on the county tag office’s behalf. Because a tag agent collects state taxes and fees and handles state title documents, the Department of Revenue conditions the designation on a $50,000 surety bond.
It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the State of Georgia (the obligee). The bond guarantees you remit the taxes and fees you collect and properly issue and account for registration and title documents.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim because fees went unremitted or documents were mishandled, you repay the surety. Tag agents who keep clean records treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.
