North Carolina licenses manufactured-home dealers through the Manufactured Housing Board and conditions the license on a surety bond under G.S. 143-143.12. The amount is $35,000 for your main location, plus $25,000 for each additional place of business. We issue it at a flat 3% with a soft credit pull only.
















Your dealer license is waiting on this bond. Here is the entire process:
Business details, owner information, your total bond amount, and the effective date — plus a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Most clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. The soft credit pull never affects your score.
Pay online and receive the executed bond ready to file with your dealer license. The bond is subject to the statutory June 30 renewal date.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. $35,000 main lot, +$25,000 per extra location — total it and the premium updates.
North Carolina licenses manufactured-home dealers under Chapter 143, Article 9A, with the Manufactured Housing Board issuing the license. A dealer must post a surety bond under G.S. 143-143.12 as a condition of the license.
The amount is $35,000 for the dealer’s main place of business, plus $25,000 for each additional location. So a single-lot dealer files $35,000; a two-lot dealer files $60,000; and so on. Total your locations and enter the figure.
The bond is conditioned on the dealer conforming to Article 9A. A buyer of a manufactured home who suffers loss from a dealer violation can recover against the licensee and the surety — and if the surety pays, the dealer repays the surety. It is not insurance for the business.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
