About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the dealer bond actually covers

Oregon licenses manufactured-structures dealers — businesses that sell new or used manufactured dwellings and similar structures — through the Department of Consumer and Business Services (DCBS). ORS 446.726 conditions the license on a surety bond (or letter of credit) as a consumer-protection backstop.

The bond guarantees that the dealer does not act fraudulently and follows the laws governing manufactured-structure dealers and dealerships — including the rules on transfers of interest and on moving or altering structures. A buyer harmed by a dealer's fraud or violation can recover against it.

The amount depends on the license type: a standard dealer posts $40,000, while a limited manufactured-structure dealer posts $15,000 for each year the license is valid. Whatever applies to you, pricing is 1% of that amount, with a $100 minimum, and the application collects no credit information.

ORS 446.726 (DCBS)ORS 446.726 requires a manufactured-structures dealer to deliver to the DCBS director a corporate surety bond or letter of credit as a condition of licensing. A standard dealer bond is $40,000; a limited manufactured-structure dealer (ORS 446.706) posts $15,000 for each year the license is valid. The bond guarantees the dealer operates without fraud and complies with the manufactured-structure dealer laws. Confirm the amount on your DCBS license.
