What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
New Mexico licenses manufactured-home manufacturers through the Regulation and Licensing Department’s Manufactured Housing Division (MHD) under the Manufactured Housing Act and 14.12.4 NMAC. A Manufacturer I — a full manufactured-home manufacturer — files a $50,000 consumer protection bond per location.
The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: if the manufacturer violates the Manufactured Housing Act or its regulations — including a failure to transfer good and sufficient legal title or to honor warranty obligations — 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).
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a consumer claim, you repay the surety. The bond stays available to consumers for a period after you cease doing business, so keep it active for as long as you hold the license.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $50,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
