What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Colorado registers installers of manufactured homes through the Department of Local Affairs' Division of Housing. The registration is conditioned on a $15,000 financial guarantee — a surety bond, letter of credit, or certificate of deposit — filed with the Division at the time of application.
The bond is a workmanship-and-compliance guarantee: it stands behind your installation of manufactured and tiny homes to the state's installation standards. It is a three-party arrangement between you (the principal), the surety, and the State of Colorado (the obligee), payable to the Division of Housing on an enforcement action.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Installers who do clean, code-compliant work treat the bond as a registration formality. We track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out so your registration stays continuously backed.

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 $15,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
