About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Minnesota licenses manufactured home installers through the Department of Labor and Industry, and conditions the license on a $2,500 surety bond under Minn. Stat. 327B.041. The bond is a compliance and consumer-protection guarantee: it stands behind your faithful performance of installation work and your compliance with the laws, ordinances, and rules governing the license.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Minnesota together with harmed customers (the protected parties). If an installer fails to perform or violates the installation rules and someone is harmed, that party can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must be written in compliance with Minn. Stat. 326B.0921 and stay continuous for the life of your license; the surety can cancel future liability only on 30 days’ written notice to the commissioner.

Minn. Stat. 327B.041 / 326B.0921 (DLI)Minnesota manufactured home installers are licensed by the Department of Labor and Industry and must post a surety bond of at least $2,500 under Minn. Stat. 327B.041, written in compliance with Minn. Stat. 326B.0921. The bond is conditioned on faithful performance of the installer’s duties and compliance with applicable laws, ordinances, and rules. The surety may cancel future liability only on 30 days’ written notice to the commissioner.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Minnesota manufactured home installer bond? +
The premium is $275 — our minimum. The bond amount is fixed at $2,500, and 3% of that ($75) is below the minimum, so you pay the $275 floor. A soft credit pull affects approval, never the price.
Do I pay the $2,500? +
No. You pay $275. The $2,500 is the surety’s maximum liability if a valid claim is made — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Who requires this bond? +
The Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry, as a condition of a manufactured home installer license under Minn. Stat. 327B.041. No active bond, no license.
Is there a credit check? +
Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. It informs approval, not price. The price is $275 either way: credit can affect whether we approve the bond, never what it costs.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay continuous for the life of your license. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your license never lapses over a missed email.
