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; pricing starts from $100, with a quick soft credit check that never affects your score.
