What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Georgia licenses used motor vehicle parts dealers — businesses that buy, sell, or dismantle used auto parts — through the Secretary of State’s Board of Used Motor Vehicle Parts Dealers. Under O.C.G.A. 43-47-8, the license is conditioned on a $10,000 surety bond.
The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it backs your obligation to promptly pay losses, damages, and expenses suffered by a purchaser of your used parts — including losses from fraudulent misrepresentation about liens or titles — and your compliance with the laws governing parts dealers.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a buyer’s claim, you repay the surety. The license and bond renew on a December 31 cycle (odd-numbered years for the dealer license), so use a year-end effective date for renewals.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The bond runs to December 31 whatever day you buy; the premium covers the period to that date.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, December 31, in the year your term ends.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the board. Submit the executed bond with your used motor vehicle parts dealer license application or renewal. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the board insists.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $125 for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
No credit check up to $35,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
