Three steps to licensed.
Your manufacturer license is waiting on this bond. Here's the entire process — no broker phone tag:
Apply once, online
Business details, owner information, a few commercial questions, and an effective date. The only extra step is a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Reviewed & approved
Most of these clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. The credit check is a soft pull that never affects your score.
E-sign & file with the Manufactured Housing Board
Pay online and receive the executed bond (Board form DOC.185) ready to file with your manufacturer license application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Board insists.
What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
South Carolina licenses manufactured home manufacturers through the Manufactured Housing Board within LLR, and conditions the license on a $75,000 bond for each manufacturing location. The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee backing your compliance with the Uniform Standards Code for Manufactured Housing.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Board (the obligee), with manufactured-home buyers as the protected parties. Claims may be initiated only through the Board's complaint process, and recovery is limited to a consumer's actual damages — not attorney's fees or punitive damages.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The Board can require an increased bond after a violation (up to an additional $75,000), and won't release a bond until all claims are resolved or three years after you stop doing business in South Carolina, whichever is later.
