The bond the Oregon State Marine Board requires from a business it appoints to register boats and issue temporary operating permits. The Board sets the amount — commonly $1,000, more for higher-volume or multi-location agents. Pricing is 0.5% of your bond amount, with a $100 minimum; your exact price appears at the application.

The Oregon State Marine Board appoints private businesses — marinas, dealers, sporting-goods stores — as registration agents who can title boats, register them, and issue a temporary permit so the owner can use the boat right away while the permanent registration is processed. Agents collect the Board's fees as part of that work.
The bond is the Board's protection that those collected fees are accounted for and remitted on time, and that the agent follows the boat-registration rules in ORS Chapter 830. Most claims arise when a former agent stops remitting the registration money it collected from the public.
Because the Board sets the amount by appointment, there is no single statutory figure: it is commonly $1,000, raised for higher weekly transaction volume and increased by roughly $1,000 for each additional location. Pricing is 0.5% of that amount, with a $100 minimum, and the application collects no credit information.
