What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
New Mexico licenses general construction trades through the Construction Industries Division (CID) and the manufactured-housing trades through the Manufactured Housing Division (MHD). When a CID-licensed contractor or journeyman “crosses over” to perform work on manufactured homes, 14.12.10 NMAC requires them to register with the MHD and post an installer’s or repairman’s consumer protection bond.
The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: if the crossover contractor violates the Manufactured Housing Act or its regulations and a consumer suffers a monetary loss, the bond stands behind paying the consumer back. It’s a three-party arrangement — you (the principal), the surety, and the State of New Mexico (the obligee), with consumers protected.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a consumer claim, you repay the surety. Keep the bond active for as long as you do manufactured-home work under your MHD registration.
