Looking for the Alabama residential roofer bond?
Alabama requires every manufactured housing installer to file a $20,000 bond with the Manufactured Housing Commission (AMHC). The Commission can adjust the amount based on its claims review, so we let you enter the figure on your AMHC notice — and we price it at 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, exact price at the application.

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 — premiums from $100, your exact price at the application. No credit check up to $20,000 for individuals and partnerships (above that, a soft pull at most); for corporations and LLCs, one soft pull at every amount, never a hard inquiry.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Manufactured Housing Commission. Submit the executed bond with your AMHC installer license application or renewal. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Commission insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $20,000 for individuals and partnerships (above that, a soft pull at most); for corporations and LLCs, one soft pull at every amount, never a hard inquiry.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
