About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the limited dealer bond actually guarantees

Minnesota's manufactured home licensing law at Minn. Stat. 327B.04 provides for a limited dealer license, for dealers whose manufactured-home activity is narrow enough to qualify. The Department of Labor and Industry conditions that license on a $5,000 surety bond.

Like the full dealer bond, the limited dealer bond is for the protection of consumer customers, conditioned on faithful compliance with the laws and rules governing your business and faithful performance of your obligations to consumers. A consumer harmed by a breach can recover against the bond, up to the $5,000 penal sum.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. At this stage we run one soft credit pull as part of underwriting; it informs approval, never the price. Confirm with the Department whether your activity qualifies for the limited license.
