Overview
Georgia requires used motor vehicle parts dealers to carry a surety bond before the state will issue or renew their business license. This bond holds dealers accountable to customers, the state, and the public — ensuring honest business practices in the sale and distribution of used auto parts. Operating without it means operating without a valid license.
Who Needs This Bond?
Salvage yards, auto recyclers, and businesses that buy and resell used vehicle components in Georgia all need this bond. If your business strips vehicles for parts, purchases wrecked cars for resale of individual components, or deals in used automotive inventory of any kind, the state's licensing requirement applies to you. Any entity applying for a Georgia used motor vehicle parts dealer license must have this bond in place.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects consumers and the state against financial harm caused by a licensed used parts dealer who fails to operate honestly or comply with Georgia's dealer regulations. It creates a financial guarantee that customers who are wronged — through fraud, misrepresentation, or failure to deliver — have a legal avenue for recovery. The bond holds the dealer responsible for conduct that falls short of state standards.
When is it Required?
Before your used motor vehicle parts dealer license is issued or renewed by Georgia's state licensing authority, proof of this bond must already be on file. The bond is a prerequisite, not an afterthought — you submit it as part of your license application package. Dealers who miss this step will find their application stalled until the bond is in place.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide Georgia requirement and applies to any used motor vehicle parts dealer operating anywhere within state lines. It is tied to your Georgia dealer license, not to any individual county or city permit. Whether your business is in Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta, or a rural county, the same state bond requirement applies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Georgia Motor Vehicle Parts Dealer Bond filed with the state, or do I just keep it on file myself?
The bond is typically filed directly with Georgia's state licensing authority as part of your dealer license application. You do not simply hold it in your records — the state needs the original bond or a certified copy on file before your license is issued or renewed. Your Bond Titan documentation will be formatted for state submission.
How does this bond actually protect my customers?
If a customer suffers a financial loss because your business engaged in fraud, sold misrepresented parts, or failed to honor a transaction according to state regulations, that customer can file a claim against your bond. The surety steps in to pay valid claims up to the bond's face amount, and you are then responsible for reimbursing the surety. It gives buyers a real financial remedy without having to sue your business directly.
What happens to the bond if I close my used parts business before the license term ends?
Most surety bonds, including this one, allow for cancellation with proper written notice — typically 30 to 60 days — to both the state and the surety. However, you remain liable for any claims that arose during the period the bond was active. The state may also require you to formally surrender your dealer license when the bond is cancelled, so close both obligations together to avoid compliance issues.
What happens after I click Buy This Bond Online?
You'll open the My Bond App portal in a new tab where you can complete the secure online bond application and finish your purchase. Your Bond Titan tab stays open so you can come back and keep browsing.
