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.

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 $25,000 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
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 sets the price
The premium is fixed at $275 at the $25,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
