About this bond

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.

14.12.10 NMAC (CID crossover registration)Under 14.12.10 NMAC, a contractor or journeyman licensed by the Construction Industries Division who performs work on manufactured homes must register with the Manufactured Housing Division, pay the registration fee, and post an installer’s or repairman’s consumer protection bond (set at $10,000 under 14.12.4 NMAC). The bond pays a consumer harmed by the licensee’s violation of the Manufactured Housing Act. Confirm the amount and form on your MHD registration.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the CID crossover bond?The premium is $100 — set by our carrier's rate book for this fixed $10,000 bond amount, the same for every crossover contractor. The $10,000 is set by rule, so there is no quote process.

Do I pay the $10,000?No. You pay $100. The $10,000 is the surety’s maximum liability if a valid consumer claim is made — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

Why do I need both CID and MHD?Your CID license covers general construction trades. To work on manufactured homes you also register with the Manufactured Housing Division and post this consumer protection bond — that registration is the “crossover.”

Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information, and most applications approve instantly. If a check runs, it is a soft pull that won't touch your score.

When does it renew?The bond must stay active for as long as you do manufactured-home work. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available.
