About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A designated agent of the Mississippi Department of Revenue performs titling duties — forwarding title applications, inspecting the home, identifying signatories, and submitting inspection certificates. For manufactured homes, the Department appoints non-dealer agents (banks, credit unions, finance companies, title-pledge lenders, and others) who post a bond.

The bond is payable to the State of Mississippi and conditioned on the faithful performance of those titling duties. If the agent commits fraud or misconduct in titling — for example, processing a fraudulent title — a harmed person can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The statute sets a $5,000 minimum for non-dealer agents; the bond stays in effect for as long as you hold the appointment, and we track it so it never lapses.

Miss. Code § 63-21-13(3)Under Miss. Code § 63-21-13 (Motor Vehicle and Manufactured Home Certificate of Title Law), the Department of Revenue may appoint non-dealer designated agents who must enter into a bond with a corporate surety, payable to the State of Mississippi, in an amount set by the Department but in no case less than $5,000, conditioned on the faithful performance of their titling duties. Licensed dealers post a higher bond (not less than $15,000).

FAQs

Common questions.

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

How much is the designated agent title bond? +
The premium is $275 — our minimum. Three percent of the fixed $5,000 bond is $150, which is below our $275 minimum premium, so the bond is $275 for every non-dealer agent.
Do I pay the $5,000? +
No. You pay $275. The $5,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Who requires this bond? +
The Mississippi Department of Revenue, under the Motor Vehicle and Manufactured Home Certificate of Title Law (Miss. Code § 63-21-13), as a condition of a non-dealer designated agent appointment.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount license bonds like this one don't need one.
How is this different from the motor vehicle non-dealer bond? +
Both are $5,000 non-dealer designated agent bonds under § 63-21-13 — this one covers manufactured-home titling, the other covers motor vehicle titling. The Department of Revenue may treat them as separate appointments; confirm which your appointment requires.
