Florida recreational vehicle dealers are regulated by the Florida Division of Motor Vehicles.

The bond, depending on the recreational dealership will be in one of two amounts.
According to state regulations, the surety bond amount for recreational dealers operating in the state are as follows:

Besides this, the recreational vehicle dealer bond is also a prerequisite for licensing by the Florida Division of Motor Vehicles.
The Division is the obligee for this surety bond.
The licensing period and the bond period are between October 1st and September 30ttj/
