What the installer bond actually covers
HUD runs the Manufactured Home Installation Program under 24 CFR Part 3286. In states that have not adopted their own qualifying installation program (the HUD-administered states), HUD licenses installers directly — and conditions the license on proof of insurance plus a surety bond or irrevocable letter of credit.
Under 24 CFR 3286.205(d) and the licensing process in 24 CFR 3286.207, the bond must cover the cost of repairing all damage to the home and its supports caused by the installer during installation, up to and including replacement of the home. Every license applicant submits the name of the surety and the bond number as part of the application.
The bond protects the homeowner against faulty installation — if the surety pays a claim, the installer repays the surety. It is a guarantee, not insurance for the installer. We issue the amount HUD’s program requires at a flat 3% with no credit check.
