About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the dealer bond actually guarantees

North Carolina licenses manufactured-home dealers under Chapter 143, Article 9A, with the Manufactured Housing Board issuing the license. A dealer must post a surety bond under G.S. 143-143.12 as a condition of the license.

The amount is $35,000 for the dealer’s main place of business, plus $25,000 for each additional location. So a single-lot dealer files $35,000; a two-lot dealer files $60,000; and so on. Total your locations and enter the figure.

The bond is conditioned on the dealer conforming to Article 9A. A buyer of a manufactured home who suffers loss from a dealer violation can recover against the licensee and the surety — and if the surety pays, the dealer repays the surety. It is not insurance for the business.

G.S. 143-143.12 (dealers)Under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-143.12, a manufactured-home dealer must furnish a $35,000 surety bond for the main place of business, plus $25,000 for each additional place of business, conditioned on conforming to Article 9A. The bond runs to buyers harmed by a violation, with the Manufactured Housing Board approving its form.
