North Carolina set-up contractor bonds.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the set-up contractor bond guarantees

North Carolina licenses the manufactured-housing trades under Chapter 143, Article 9A, with the Manufactured Housing Board overseeing the work. A set-up contractor — the licensee who sites, blocks, anchors and connects a manufactured home — must post a surety bond under G.S. 143-143.12.

The amount is a fixed $10,000. The bond is conditioned on the contractor conforming to Article 9A, and a buyer harmed by a violation in the set-up work can recover against the licensee and the surety. If the surety pays a claim, the contractor repays the surety.

Because the amount is small and fixed, this is one of the simplest bonds we write — no credit section, no financials, just business details and an effective date. Most applications approve instantly. The bond follows the statutory June 30 renewal cycle for the manufactured-housing industry.

G.S. 143-143.12 (set-up contractors)Under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-143.12, a manufactured-home set-up contractor must furnish a $10,000 surety bond (or cash bond or fixed-value equivalent) conditioned on conforming to Article 9A, with the bond running to buyers harmed by a violation and the Manufactured Housing Board approving its form.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the North Carolina set-up contractor bond?The premium is $100 flat — our carrier’s rate book price for the fixed $10,000 bond amount, the same for every contractor. The $10,000 is set by G.S. 143-143.12, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $10,000?No. You pay $100. The $10,000 is the surety’s maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Who requires this bond?The North Carolina Manufactured Housing Board, under G.S. 143-143.12, as a condition of a set-up contractor license.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information, and most applications approve instantly. Small fixed-amount license bonds like this one rarely need a check.
When does it renew?The bond follows the statutory June 30 renewal date for the manufactured-housing industry. This bond runs to June 30 whatever day you buy, and renews from that date; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out so your license never lapses.
Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
