Oregon motorcycle dealer bond ($2,000).
Legacy amount — confirm first.
This is the older $2,000 figure for an Oregon motorcycle, moped, snowmobile, and Class I ATV dealer bond. Be aware: the current ORS 822.030 amount is $10,000, not $2,000 — Oregon raised it. Only use this page if the DMV has specifically confirmed a $2,000 bond for your situation; otherwise use the $10,000 page. We price it at $100, with one soft credit pull.

What it is and who needs it.
Why this page says "confirm the amount"
Oregon licenses powersports dealers — those selling exclusively motorcycles, mopeds, snowmobiles, and Class I ATVs — through the DMV under ORS 822.030, with a reduced dealer bond. For years that reduced amount was $2,000, the figure this page reflects.
Oregon has since raised it to $10,000. Current sources and the present text of ORS 822.030 set the powersports-only dealer bond at $10,000. We're being upfront: if you file a $2,000 bond when the DMV expects $10,000, your certificate will be held up.
We left this $2,000 version available because some legacy filings and older paperwork still reference it — but for almost every dealer today, the right bond is the $10,000 powersports dealer bond. Use this page only if the DMV has explicitly confirmed $2,000 for you. When in doubt, send us your DMV instructions and we'll point you to the correct amount.

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 $2,000 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
E-sign & file with the DMV. Pay online and receive the executed bond, ready to file with your DMV vehicle-dealer certificate application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the DMV insists.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $2,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
Confirm the amount, then apply.
If the DMV confirmed $2,000, these are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time soft credit pull. If your certificate needs $10,000, switch to that page first.
