Washington Aircraft Dealer Bond
Overview
Get bonded and licensed to sell aircraft in Washington State with the Washington Aircraft Dealer Bond. This bond is a statewide requirement that protects buyers and the public from fraudulent or unlawful conduct by licensed aircraft dealers. Securing it is a mandatory step before you can legally operate as an aircraft dealer under Washington's regulatory framework.
Who Needs This Bond?
If you plan to buy, sell, or broker aircraft as a business in Washington State, you need this bond. It applies to individuals and companies seeking or renewing an aircraft dealer license through the appropriate Washington state authority. Whether you're opening a new dealership or expanding an existing operation, this bond must be in place before you can conduct licensed aircraft sales.
What is this Bond For?
Washington requires aircraft dealers to post this bond as a financial guarantee that they will operate honestly and in compliance with applicable state requirements. If a dealer commits fraud, misrepresents a transaction, or otherwise harms a buyer or third party, an injured party can make a claim against the bond to recover losses. It holds dealers financially accountable without putting that burden solely on the state or the consumer.
When is it Required?
Renewal is a recurring obligation — this bond must remain active and in good standing for the duration of your Washington aircraft dealer license. You will need it in place at initial license application and again at each renewal cycle. Letting the bond lapse can trigger a license suspension, so plan ahead to keep your coverage continuous.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide requirement that applies across all of Washington State. It is not tied to a specific city or county — it covers your authority to operate as a licensed aircraft dealer anywhere within Washington's jurisdiction.
