Bonded Title Appraisal FAQ

What is a bonded title?

A bonded title is a title issued with a surety bond when you can't provide sufficient ownership documentation. The bond amount is based on the vehicle's appraised value and protects against prior ownership claims.

Why do I need an appraisal for a bonded title?

The surety bond amount is tied to the vehicle's value, so an appraisal from a qualified party — such as a licensed dealer — is required to establish that value as part of the bonded title application.

Can Leviathan Truck Sales provide a bonded title appraisal?

Yes. We're a licensed Texas dealer and can provide the appraisal used for a Texas bonded title (which uses Form VTR-125). Use the request button on this page to begin.

How is the bond amount determined?

In Texas the surety bond is generally set based on the vehicle's appraised value. Our appraisal documents that value so you can obtain the correct bond.

What's the difference between a bonded title appraisal and a VTR-125 appraisal?

They're closely related — the Texas bonded title application is Form VTR-125, and the appraisal that establishes vehicle value supports that same process. We handle both.
