CO manufactured-home installer bonds.
$450. Five minutes.
Colorado requires a registered installer of manufactured homes to file a $15,000 financial guarantee with the Division of Housing — a surety bond is one accepted form. Ours is $450 flat, which is 3% of the bond amount. The application is five minutes, with no credit check on this bond.

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.
