Dealer license bonds are about as simple as surety gets. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That is the application — no financials, no credit check section on this bond.
Fixed-amount license bonds like this are among the many that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your dealer license application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$20,000 bond × 3% = $600, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
Minnesota licenses manufactured home dealers through the Department of Labor and Industry, Construction Codes and Licensing Division. Under Minn. Stat. 327B.04, a dealer license is conditioned on a $20,000 surety bond for the protection of consumer customers.
The bond is conditioned on faithful compliance with the laws and rules governing your business as a dealer — including the consumer-protection provisions at Minn. Stat. 325D.44, 325F.67, and 325F.69 — and on faithful performance of your legal obligations to consumer customers. A consumer harmed by a breach can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Dealers who treat buyers fairly and deliver on their contracts treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
