What the bond actually guarantees
Iowa licenses travel trailer dealers under Iowa Code chapter 322C, and conditions the license on a surety bond filed through the Iowa DOT. The bond runs to the State of Iowa and is conditioned on the dealer’s faithful compliance with the statutes regulating travel trailer dealers, indemnifying anyone who does business with the dealer against loss caused by the dealer’s failure to comply.
An important update: Iowa raised this bond from $25,000 to $75,000 effective July 1, 2019. The scraped application amount shown here is $25,000 — the pre-2019 figure — so confirm with the Iowa DOT whether your license now requires the $75,000 bond before you file. We’ll issue whichever amount your application actually requires.
One common exemption: an applicant is not required to file a separate travel trailer bond if it is already licensed as a motor vehicle dealer under the same name at the same principal place of business. If that’s you, the motor vehicle dealer bond may already cover this — ask us and we’ll confirm.
