About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the installer bond actually covers

Alabama licenses manufactured housing installers through the Manufactured Housing Commission (AMHC). Setting a home — anchoring, leveling, blocking, and connecting it — is regulated work, and the Commission conditions the installer license on a $20,000 surety bond plus $100,000 of general liability insurance.

The bond is a workmanship-and-compliance guarantee: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Alabama / AMHC (the obligee), with homeowners as the protected parties. If an installer fails to set a home to the Commission's standards and a homeowner is harmed, they can recover against the bond.

The AMHC can raise or lower the $20,000 amount based on its periodic review of valid claims, so the required figure isn't always the same. Enter whatever the Commission set, and we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check.

Ala. Admin. Code 535-X-12 (AMHC)The Alabama Manufactured Housing Commission requires each installer applicant to file a valid surety bond in the amount of $20,000 together with $100,000 of general liability insurance, under its Administrative Code (Chapter 535-X-12, certification of installation personnel). The bond amount may be increased or decreased by the Commission based on a periodic review of valid claims — confirm your required amount on your AMHC notice.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Alabama manufactured housing installer bond? +
The premium is a flat 3% of the bond amount, with a $275 minimum. The base amount is $20,000 — so $600 — but the AMHC can adjust it. Enter the figure on your notice and the quote updates.
Do I pay the bond amount? +
No. On a $20,000 bond you pay $600. The bond amount is the surety's maximum liability to the Commission and harmed homeowners; it's not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Why can the amount change? +
The AMHC reviews valid claims periodically and can increase or decrease the required bond amount. If your notice shows something other than $20,000, enter that figure — the premium stays a flat 3%.
Is there a credit check? +
No — the installer bond is issued with no credit pull. Larger bond amounts may get a quick soft-pull review, which never affects your credit score.
Do I also need insurance? +
Yes — the AMHC requires $100,000 of general liability insurance in addition to the surety bond. The bond and the insurance are two different things: the bond protects homeowners and the state, the insurance is your own coverage.
