About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually covers

Mississippi licenses manufacturers and modular contractors of factory-built modular homes — homes built in a factory to the state building code (UBC/IBC), not the federal HUD code — through the State Fire Marshal’s Office under the Factory-Built Homes Act (Miss. Code § 75-49-1 et seq.).

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 bond at $500,000 per licensed facility, with a $1,000,000 minimum for three or more facilities — the same structure that applies to HUD-code manufacturers, and 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 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 modular 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). Confirm the current amount on your license application.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the modular 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.
How is a modular home different from a HUD home?A modular home is built in a factory to the state building code (the same code as a site-built house); a HUD-code home is built to the federal manufactured-housing standard. Mississippi licenses both, with the same $500,000-per-facility bond structure.
Who requires this bond?The Mississippi State Fire Marshal’s Office, within the Insurance Department, requires it as a condition of a modular manufacturer / modular contractor 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 or modular contractor 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.
