NY manufactured home manufacturer bonds.
$525 flat.
An individual seeking certification as a manufacturer of manufactured homes in New York files the largest of the four Article 21-B bonds — $50,000, written to the Department of State under Executive Law Article 21-B and 19 NYCRR part 1210. Ours is $525 flat, and the price you see is the checkout price. The application includes a credit consent that authorises a soft credit pull only.

What it is and who needs it.
What the manufacturer bond actually guarantees
Executive Law Article 21-B makes the Department of State the certifying authority for the whole manufactured-home chain — the people who build the homes, the retailers who sell them, the installers who set and connect them, and the mechanics who service their structural parts. The bond scales with how far up that chain you sit: manufacturer $50,000, retailer $25,000, installer $10,000, mechanic $5,000. A manufacturer posts the largest bond because a defect introduced in the factory travels into every home that leaves it.
The bond runs to the New York State Department of State and, under the terms of DOS form 1722, obliges you and any employee of yours holding a limited certificate to comply with Article 21-B and 19 NYCRR part 1210, pay all civil penalties levied under them, and satisfy any Article 21-B order or Article 21-B judgment entered against you — including as those are confirmed, modified or affected on judicial review. The Department may recover against the bond for a breach occurring during the term, and for a later breach that rests on a violation or a substantial defect existing before the term ended.
This page is the individual filing. The Department cannot certify a DBA, so a person applying — including one doing business under an assumed name — is named personally as Principal, with residential address and principal place of business both stated on the bond. The bond is continuous: it stays in force indefinitely and terminates on the sixtieth day after the Department receives the surety’s written notice of cancellation. Total surety liability is capped at the face amount regardless of how many claims arrive or how many years the bond has run.
