About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually covers

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.

Miss. Code § 75-49-1 et seq. (State Fire Marshal)Under Mississippi’s Factory-Built Homes Act (Miss. Code § 75-49-1 et seq.), the State Fire Marshal’s Office licenses promotional event retailers of factory-built homes — those selling at home shows and temporary events — and conditions the license on a surety bond. The required amount is set by the Fire Marshal’s Office; confirm the figure on your license application.
