About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually covers

Mississippi licenses manufacturers of HUD-code factory-built homes — built to the federal HUD manufactured housing standards — through the State Fire Marshal’s Office under the Factory-Built Homes Act (Miss. Code § 75-49-1 et seq.). The State Fire Marshal’s Office administers manufactured-home regulation under contract with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

The Fire Marshal’s bonding regulation (19 Miss. Admin. Code Pt. 7, Ch. 4, Rule 4.05, as amended effective July 1, 2026) sets the manufacturer bond at $500,000 per licensed facility, with a $1,000,000 minimum for three or more facilities — twenty times the pre-July 2026 figures of $25,000 and $50,000. The bond stands behind your compliance with the Act and protects the public harmed by a manufacturer’s violation of the licensing law.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Enter the amount your facility count requires; pricing is 1% of the bond amount, from $5,000, with a quick soft credit check that never affects your score.

Miss. Code § 75-49-1 et seq.; State Fire Marshal regulationsUnder Mississippi’s Factory-Built Homes Act (Miss. Code § 75-49-1 et seq.) and the State Fire Marshal’s bonding regulation (19 Miss. Admin. Code Pt. 7, Ch. 4, Rule 4.05(B), amended effective July 1, 2026), a manufacturer (or modular contractor) of factory-built homes must provide proof of a $500,000 surety bond per Licensed Facility, or a minimum $1,000,000 bond for three or more Licensed Facilities, plus a $2,000,000 general commercial liability policy; the bond is written on the Fire Marshal’s own Surety Bond for Licensure form (Revised 07/2026). The Fire Marshal’s Office administers HUD-code manufactured housing under contract with HUD; confirm the current amount on your license application.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the HUD home manufacturer bond?Since July 1, 2026, Fire Marshal regulations set $500,000 per licensed facility, or a $1,000,000 minimum for three or more facilities (the previous rule said $25,000 and $50,000). The premium is 1% of the bond amount — $5,000 for a $500,000 bond, $10,000 for $1,000,000. Enter your amount and your exact price appears at the application.
What is a HUD-code home?A factory-built home built to the federal HUD manufactured housing construction and safety standards (24 CFR Part 3280), as opposed to a state-code modular home. Mississippi’s Fire Marshal’s Office regulates HUD-code manufacturers under contract with HUD.
Who requires this bond?The Mississippi State Fire Marshal’s Office, within the Insurance Department, requires it as a condition of a manufacturer license under the Factory-Built Homes Act.
Is there a credit check?A quick soft credit check may run — never a hard inquiry, no impact on your score. It informs approval only; the price is 1% of your bond amount, from $5,000.
What does the bond protect against?Losses to the public from the manufacturer’s violation of the Act. If a valid claim is paid, you repay the surety — it is a guarantee, not insurance for you.
Do I also need liability insurance?Yes — Rule 4.05 also requires a manufacturer to carry a general commercial liability policy of at least $2,000,000 in coverage, filed with the Fire Marshal’s Office alongside the bond. We write the bond; your insurance agent handles the liability policy.
