Auto dealers in the State of Florida have to renew their dealership license by April 30th in order to meet the requirements of the state and continue their operations legally. This also means they need to renew their auto dealer license bond since it expires on that same date. That's why many Florida dealerships are now on the look for the best bonding rates, as paying more for their license bond can affect their business negatively.
The April 30th deadline applies to the following dealership types in Florida: independent, franchise, wholesale and auction dealers. For mobile home dealership, the renewal deadline is September 30th. All the details about the Florida dealer license renewal process and the lowest bond rates can be found below.
The Basics of Renewal
Auto dealership businesses in Florida need to be fully licensed by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to operate legally in the state. An up-to-date $25,000 surety bond is an indispensable requirement to obtain a license initially and to have it renewed every year. The bond price that needs to be paid is only a percentage of the $25,000 bond amount.
For a renewal of a Florida dealer license, there is a fee of $75. Proof for at least eight hours of continuing education and renewal of the motor vehicle dealer surety bond are also necessary. For the latter requirement, a filled Motor Vehicle Dealer Surety Bond Form (HSMV 86020) has to be presented to the Florida DHSMV. The bond form is filled by the surety providing the bond.
The surety bond is not insurance for the auto dealership. It acts as a protection for its customers that the dealership will abide by the state regulations in its business operations. The surety bond is an agreement between three parties. The auto dealership is the principal that gets the bond from the surety in order to guarantee that it will meet the requirements of the obligee, in this case the State of Florida.
