Mississippi licenses promotional event retailers — those who sell factory-built homes at home shows, fairs, and temporary events — through the State Fire Marshal’s Office under the Factory-Built Homes Act, with a surety bond as a condition. We issue it at a flat 3% with a soft pull that never affects your score.
















Enter your amount, consent to one soft credit pull, and file with the State Fire Marshal’s Office. Here is the whole thing:
Business details, the bond amount your license requires, and the effective date — plus a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Most of these clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. The soft pull never affects your score.
Pay online and receive the executed bond, ready to file with your promotional event retailer license application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the office insists.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. Enter the figure your license requires and the premium updates.
Mississippi treats selling factory-built homes at a home show, fair, or other promotional event as a distinct license category under the Factory-Built Homes Act (Miss. Code § 75-49-1 et seq.), administered by the State Fire Marshal’s Office. A promotional event retailer must hold the license and a surety bond before selling at the event.
The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it protects buyers at the event harmed by the retailer’s violation of the Act, fraud, or breach of a sale contract — the same protections that apply to a permanent retail location, scaled to the event setting.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The State Fire Marshal’s Office sets the required amount, so confirm the figure on your application; we issue it at a flat 3% with a soft pull that never affects your score.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
