Time for the West Virginia Dealer Bond Renewal!

Car dealers in West Virginia have only a limited amount of time left before their June 30 license renewal deadline. Dealers need to submit their renewal applications by June 1 at the West Virginia Department of Transportation, Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV).

In order to fully renew their licenses, car dealers also need to renew their West Virginia auto dealer bond which runs out at the same time.

West Virginia Dealer License Renewal Overview

To renew their West Virginia dealer license, auto dealers must fill in and submit their renewal application by June 1 to the DMV.

To renew their licenses, dealers also need to pay a renewal fee. Here is a list of the types of licenses that expire on June 30 and that need to be renewed before that:

• New & Used (D) – $100.00 renewal fee

When renewing their license, dealers must also pay an additional fee. In accordance with Article 6, Chapter 17A of the West Virginia Codehe, a $150 dealer recovery fund fee is to be paid by all except mobile home, auto auction and wrecker license holders.

Then there is the bond renewal, without which you cannot renew your license.

In addition to their renewal application, dealers also need to furnish a $25,000 West Virginia auto dealer bond. To obtain this bond, though, only a fraction of this sum needs to be paid.
