How much does a Minnesota manufactured home installer bond cost?
$100 at the $2,500 amount, the same for every applicant.
Three steps to licensed.
Your installer license is waiting on this bond. Here is 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 soft credit pull.
Approved
Most are approved as soon as you apply. One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score. If it needs a second look, one to two business days at most.
E-sign & file with the Department of Labor and Industry
Pay online and receive the executed bond ready to file with your installer license application or renewal. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists.
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.

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 $2,500 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
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
E-sign & file with the Department of Labor and Industry. Pay online and receive the executed bond ready to file with your installer license application or renewal. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $2,500 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
One application: approved instantly, or after a quick credit check.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is issued when you pay.
