OR vehicle dismantler bonds.
$3,000 flat. Soft pull.
Oregon requires every licensed vehicle dismantler to post and maintain a $100,000 bond with DMV. Ours is $3,000 flat — 3% of the bond amount, identical for every dismantler. One soft credit pull, e-signed in 1–2 business days.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Oregon licenses vehicle dismantlers through the DMV Business Licensing Unit, and conditions the certificate on a $100,000 surety bond under ORS 822.110. The bond stands behind your compliance with the dismantler statutes — including obtaining certificates of sale for major component parts you acquire.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Oregon together with harmed parties. Under ORS 822.120, if a dismantler violates the dismantler statutes and someone is injured, an action can be brought against the certificate holder and the surety, up to the $100,000 penal sum.
The $100,000 figure has applied since May 1, 2020, raised from the prior $10,000 amount. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Dismantlers who keep clean records of component parts treat the bond as a license formality.
