LA manufactured home retailer bonds.
$1,500 flat. Soft pull.
Louisiana requires a manufactured-home retailer to file a $50,000 bond with the Manufactured Housing Commission to activate the license. Ours is $1,500 flat — 3% of the bond amount — with one soft credit pull that never affects your score.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Louisiana licenses manufactured-home retailers through the Manufactured Housing Commission, and conditions an active license on a $50,000 surety bond — twice the installer figure, reflecting the retailer’s role in selling the home itself.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Louisiana for the use of harmed consumers (the protected parties). If a retailer violates manufactured-housing law or fails a buyer, the harmed party can recover against the bond, up to $50,000.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Retailers who deal honestly treat the bond as a license formality, and we keep your filing continuous with renewal notices ahead of each cycle.
