Florida mobile home manufacturer bonds.
$500 flat.
Florida requires every licensed mobile home manufacturer to file a $50,000 bond with the FLHSMV under §320.8225 — one bond per manufacturer, regardless of how many factory locations you run. Ours is $500 flat, the price you see is the checkout price. A quick soft credit check may apply; the bond is issued when you pay.

Three steps to licensed.
Your manufacturer license is waiting on this bond. Here's the entire process — no broker phone tag:
Apply once, online
Business details, owner information, effective date. That is the application — the only extra step is a one-time consent to a quick soft credit check.
Approved
Most are approved as soon as you apply. The check is always a soft pull — never a hard inquiry, no impact on your score. If it needs a second look, one to two business days at most.
E-sign & file with the FLHSMV
Pay online and receive the executed bond (form HSMV 86050) ready to file with your manufacturer license application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists.
What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Florida licenses mobile home manufacturers through the FLHSMV under §320.8225, and conditions the license on a $50,000 surety bond. The bond is a consumer-and-state-protection guarantee standing behind your compliance with Florida's manufactured-housing laws for every home you build for ultimate sale in the state.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Florida, with the Director of the Division of Motorist Services named as obligee. Only one bond is required per manufacturer, no matter how many factory locations you operate.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. A manufacturer may post an irrevocable letter of credit instead (form HSMV 86059), but a surety bond is usually cheaper than tying up $50,000 in bank collateral.
