Mississippi licenses promotional event retailers — those who sell factory-built homes at home shows, fairs, and temporary events — through the State Fire Marshal’s Office under the Factory-Built Homes Act, with a surety bond as a condition. Pricing is 1% of your bond amount, $100 minimum — your exact price appears at the application.
















Enter your amount, consent to one soft credit pull, and file with the State Fire Marshal’s Office. Here is the whole thing:
Business details, the bond amount your license requires, and the effective date — plus a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Most of these clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. If a credit check runs, it is a soft pull that never affects your score.
Pay online and receive the executed bond, ready to file with your promotional event retailer license application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the office insists.
Mississippi treats selling factory-built homes at a home show, fair, or other promotional event as a distinct license category under the Factory-Built Homes Act (Miss. Code § 75-49-1 et seq.), administered by the State Fire Marshal’s Office. A promotional event retailer must hold the license and a surety bond before selling at the event.
The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it protects buyers at the event harmed by the retailer’s violation of the Act, fraud, or breach of a sale contract — the same protections that apply to a permanent retail location, scaled to the event setting.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The State Fire Marshal’s Office sets the required amount, so confirm the figure on your application; pricing starts from $100, with a quick soft credit check that never affects your score.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
