NY manufactured home retailer bonds.

File with the Department of State
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your manufactured-home retailer registration or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A manufactured-home retailer bond is a consumer-protection guarantee. People buy a manufactured home with most of what they have — the state wants a financial backstop that the dealer who sold it dealt honestly.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the Department of State / your customers (the obligee and protected parties). If a retailer takes a deposit and fails to deliver, misrepresents a sale, or breaches a warranty obligation, the harmed buyer can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Retailers who deliver what they promise treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.
