UT motorcycle dealer bonds.
$300 flat. Soft pull.
Utah requires a licensed motorcycle dealer to file a $10,000 bond with the Motor Vehicle Enforcement Division (MVED). Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount, identical for every dealer. One soft credit pull, e-signed in 1–2 business days.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Utah licenses motor vehicle dealers — including motorcycle dealers — through the State Tax Commission's Motor Vehicle Enforcement Division (MVED), and conditions the license on a surety bond under the Motor Vehicle Business Regulation Act. The bond is a consumer-and-public-protection guarantee that you'll follow Utah dealer law and handle titles and customer money honestly.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the State of Utah together with harmed buyers (the protected parties). If a dealer fails to deliver clear title, misapplies a customer's money, or otherwise violates dealer law, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Dealers who deliver clean title and keep good records treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.
