What it is and who needs it.
What the OHV bond actually guarantees
Nevada regulates off-highway vehicles — ATVs, side-by-sides, dirt bikes and the like — under NRS Chapter 490. To act as an OHV dealer, lessor, manufacturer or rebuilder, you need a DMV license, and NRS 490.270 conditions that license on a $50,000 corporate surety bond approved as to form by the Attorney General.
The bond is a consumer-and-public-protection guarantee: it backs your compliance with the chapter, including honest dealing, valid title, and freedom from deceptive trade practices. If you violate the chapter and someone is injured, they can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.

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.

Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
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 DMV. Submit the executed bond with your OHV license application or renewal — the DMV will not process the application without it. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Department insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $25,000. 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.
