Apply online
Your home address and business address, years in business, the usual commercial questions, and a one-time consent to a soft credit pull that never affects your score.
Pay & e-sign
Certification bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. Issued when you pay. One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
Sign, notarize and file the original
The Department of State accepts only a fully executed original — no faxes or photocopies — signed by you and the surety, with both signatures acknowledged before a notary and a surety power of attorney attached. We mail the original to the address you give us.
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.

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.
How to file it
Sign, notarize and file the original. The Department of State accepts only a fully executed original — no faxes or photocopies — signed by you and the surety, with both signatures acknowledged before a notary and a surety power of attorney attached. We mail the original to the address you give us.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $525 at the $50,000 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.
