About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Utah licenses factory built housing dealers — sellers of manufactured, modular, and mobile homes — through the Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing (DOPL). The license is conditioned on a $50,000 surety bond, a consumer-protection guarantee standing behind your dealings with buyers.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Utah, with harmed buyers as the protected parties. The bond is issued for the benefit of the people of Utah to indemnify persons who suffer losses from a dealer's violation of the factory built housing law.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Dealers who handle buyers fairly and keep clean records treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.

Utah Code 58-56-16(2)(c) · R156-56-402Utah factory built housing dealers are licensed by the Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing. Utah Code 58-56-16(2)(c), with Administrative Rule R156-56-402, conditions the license on a $50,000 surety bond issued for the benefit of the people of Utah to indemnify persons who suffer losses from a dealer's violation of the factory built housing law. Confirm the amount on your DOPL application.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do I pay the $50,000?No. You pay $500, fixed. The $50,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the state and harmed buyers; it's not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Who requires this bond?The Utah Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing requires it as a condition of a factory built housing dealer license, under Utah Code 58-56-16(2)(c). No active bond, no license.
What does the bond guarantee?That you follow Utah's factory built housing law in your dealings with buyers. The bond is issued for the benefit of the people of Utah to indemnify anyone who suffers a loss from a dealer's violation — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
Is there a credit check?Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. It's the only extra step beyond the application, and it informs approval, not price. The price is a fixed $500 either way: credit can affect whether we approve the bond, never what it costs.
When does it renew?Terms run 1, 2, or 3 years — your choice at purchase. You'll get renewal notices 60 and 30 days before expiration, with autopay available, and the bond must stay active for your dealer license to stay valid.
