What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A motor vehicle dealer bond is a consumer-and-public-protection guarantee. It stands behind clear title on the vehicles you sell and your compliance with the rules that govern dealer conduct — and the Township of Bordentown requires its own local bond as a condition of licensing a dealer location in town.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Township of Bordentown together with harmed buyers (the protected parties). If a dealer fails to deliver clear title, misapplies a buyer’s money, or otherwise violates dealer law, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Dealers who deliver clean title and keep good records treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk. We issue the township’s amount at 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum, confirmed via one soft pull that never affects your score.
