Three steps to licensed.
Your first DSPS dealer license is waiting on this bond. Here is the entire process:
Apply once, online
Business details, owner information, effective date. First-time applicants leave the dealer number blank. 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. Any credit check that runs is a soft pull that never affects your score.
E-sign & file with DSPS
Pay online and receive the executed bond on form SBD-10679, ready to file with your new dealer application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists.
What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Wisconsin licenses manufactured home dealers through DSPS under s. 101.951, and a first-time dealer satisfies the financial-security requirement with a surety bond on form SBD-10679. The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee standing behind your compliance with Wisconsin manufactured housing law.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Wisconsin together with harmed buyers. If a dealer violates dealer law and a buyer is harmed, that buyer can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
This page is the $50,000 non-broker level. If you are licensing as a broker, DSPS sets a lower $25,000 figure — we write that one too. Send us your application if you are unsure which amount applies.
