Three steps. Back on the job site.
Your installer certification is waiting on this bond. Here's the entire process — no broker phone tag:
Apply online
Business details and an effective date. The application is the whole thing — a soft credit pull runs in the background and never touches your score.
Reviewed & approved
Most installer bonds clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. The soft credit pull affects approval, never the price.
E-sign & file with the DOS
Pay online and receive the executed bond ready to file with your manufactured-home installer certification. Wet-ink original mailed whenever the agency insists.
What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A manufactured-home installer bond is a consumer-protection guarantee. New York certifies who may set and connect manufactured homes, and the bond backs that you'll install per the manufactured-housing code — properly sited, anchored, and connected.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the state / the homeowners you serve (the protected parties). If a faulty installation that violates the code causes financial harm, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Installers who follow the code treat this bond as a certification formality, not a risk.

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 $10,000 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.
How to file it
E-sign & file with the DOS. Pay online and receive the executed bond ready to file with your manufactured-home installer certification. Wet-ink original mailed whenever the agency insists.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $125 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
One application: approved instantly, or after a quick credit check.
These are the actual underwriting fields. A soft credit pull runs in the background and never affects your score — submit once and your bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
