What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Florida licenses mobile home installers through the FLHSMV under §320.8249. Unlike a dealer's financial bond, this is a performance bond — it stands behind the quality of your installation and weather-sealing work for one year after the home is set.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Florida, with the homeowner as the protected party. If your installation or weather-sealing is faulty and someone suffers loss as a result, they can recover against the bond.
The statute caps the bond amount at $5,000, set by department rule, and runs alongside your liability insurance, training, and exam requirements. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety, so installers who do clean work treat it as a license formality.
