MI manufactured housing dealer bonds.
$100 flat.
Michigan requires a manufactured housing retailer/dealer to file a $10,000 bond with LARA under the Mobile Home Commission Act. Ours is $100 — the price you see is the checkout price, identical for every dealer. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Michigan licenses manufactured housing retailers and dealers under the Mobile Home Commission Act (1987 PA 96), administered by LARA, and conditions the license on a $10,000 surety bond. The bond is a consumer-and-state-protection guarantee that you comply with the laws governing the sale of manufactured homes.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Michigan together with harmed buyers (the protected parties). If a dealer engages in fraud or fails to meet its obligations under the Act, a harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Dealers who follow the Act and keep good records treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk. Note: a separate consumer deposit bond may also apply if you take buyer deposits.
