Oklahoma used vehicle rebuilder bonds.
$105 flat.
A used motor vehicle dealer applying for a rebuilder certificate files a $15,000 bond with the Used Motor Vehicle, Dismantler, and Manufactured Housing Commission. Under 47 O.S. § 583 it is in addition to the dealer bond you already carry, not a replacement for it. Ours is $105 flat.

How much does an Oklahoma used vehicle rebuilder bond cost?
$105 at the $15,000 amount, the same for every applicant.
Three steps. One sitting.
Rebuilder bonds are about the simplest thing in surety. Here is the entire process:
Apply online
Business details, years in business, your locations, and an effective date. No financials and no schedule of salvage inventory.
Pay & e-sign
The price is final before you pay, and the executed bond and power of attorney generate on the spot. Any credit screen here is a soft pull that leaves your score untouched.
File with the Commission
Send it with your rebuilder application, alongside the separate used motor vehicle dealer bond the Commission also holds. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What it is and who needs it.
What the rebuilder bond actually guarantees
A rebuilder takes a wrecked or salvage vehicle, restores it, and puts it back on the road with a rebuilt title. That title is the risk. The buyer is trusting that the repairs were real, the parts were legitimate, and the paperwork describes the car that is actually in front of them — which is why Oklahoma bonds the certificate separately from the dealer license and conditions it on the issuance of a certificate of title by name.
The bond is held to the State of Oklahoma for the benefit of anyone with a right of action against you as a rebuilder. It voids only if you conduct the business without practising fraud or making fraudulent representations, without violating the Used Motor Vehicle Dealer Laws or the Commission's rules, and if you indemnify anyone who suffers loss from that fraud, from a title you issued, or from any other violation. It reaches consumers, used motor vehicle dealers and auctions alike.
One mechanic to know. The obligation follows the business without any notification to the surety: a change of corporate officers, a change of LLC members, additional locations or an address change, or a substitution of business name where ownership is unchanged are all covered automatically. And it is a hard-dated instrument — 47 O.S. § 583(B) provides that all bonds and licenses issued under the act expire December 31 following the date of issue, and since January 1, 2016 licenses are issued for two-year periods. Keep it continuous: a lapse in coverage during licensure is grounds for revocation. It is not insurance for you; if the surety pays, you reimburse the surety.

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 $15,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
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 Commission. Send it with your rebuilder application, alongside the separate used motor vehicle dealer bond the Commission also holds. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $105 at the $15,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
