SC manufactured home salesperson bonds.
$150 flat.
South Carolina requires a licensed manufactured home salesperson to file a $15,000 bond with the Manufactured Housing Board. Ours is $150 flat, set by our carrier's rate book for this bond, identical for every salesperson. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
South Carolina licenses manufactured home salespeople through the Manufactured Housing Board within LLR. A salesperson bond is a consumer-protection guarantee backing your compliance with the Uniform Standards Code for Manufactured Housing as you sell homes for a licensed dealer.
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. If you sell for more than one dealer lot, you carry the multi-lot salesperson license instead — same $15,000 amount. The Board won't release a bond until all claims are resolved or three years after you stop doing business, whichever is later.
