What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually covers
Mississippi licenses independent installer/transporters of factory-built homes through the State Fire Marshal’s Office under the Factory-Built Homes Act (Miss. Code § 75-49-1 et seq.). The Fire Marshal’s rules and regulations require these licensees to carry a $25,000 surety bond along with general commercial liability coverage.
The bond stands behind your compliance with the Act and protects the public harmed by faulty installation or transport — for example, a home set or moved in violation of the installation standards. Under § 75-49-9, a licensed installer or transporter may not deliver a factory-built home for human habitation without a bond on file.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We issue the $25,000 amount (or a higher figure if the Fire Marshal’s Office requires one) at a flat 3% with a soft pull that never affects your score.
