OR possessory lien foreclosure bonds.
$600. Five minutes.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Under ORS 87.152, a person who creates a possessory lien on a motor vehicle — typically a repair shop or storage facility holding a car for unpaid charges — must have a $20,000 surety bond in effect before, and maintain it during, any lien activity. It's filed with and held by the Oregon Department of Transportation (DMV).
The bond is conditioned to compensate parties damaged by a misrepresentation, fraud, or statutory violation in connection with the possessory lien. In other words, it protects the vehicle's owner and lienholders against an improper or abusive foreclosure or sale.
Some parties are exempt — franchised dealerships, manufacturers, towing certificate holders, and those dealing with abandoned vehicles. If a claim is paid against the bond, the lienholder must file a replacement within three business days, and a yearly letter to the DMV certifies the bond stays in effect.
