What it is and who needs it.
What the dealer bond actually guarantees
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.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $20,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The carrier issues this bond for a single two-year term; the term cannot be changed at checkout.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, October 8, in the year your term ends.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Department of Labor and Industry. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your dealer license application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $400 at the $20,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
