NC manufactured home manufacturer bonds.
$3,000 flat. Soft pull.
North Carolina licenses manufactured-home manufacturers through the Manufactured Housing Board and conditions the license on a surety bond under G.S. 143-143.12. The amount runs $2,000 per home produced, capped at $100,000 — at the cap, ours is $3,000 flat (3% of the bond). One soft credit pull, and the bond renews on the statutory June 30 date.

What it is and who needs it.
What the manufacturer bond actually guarantees
North Carolina licenses the manufactured-housing industry under Chapter 143, Article 9A, with the Manufactured Housing Board administering manufacturer, dealer, salesperson and set-up contractor licenses. A manufacturer must post a surety bond under G.S. 143-143.12 as a condition of the license.
The bond is sized at $2,000 per manufactured home produced in the prior license year, capped at $100,000. When no homes were produced in the prior year, the amount is based on estimated current-year production. This page covers the $100,000 cap bond — high-volume manufacturers land here; smaller producers may qualify for less.
The bond is conditioned on the manufacturer abiding by Article 9A. A buyer of a manufactured home who suffers loss from a violation can recover against the licensee and the surety — and if the surety pays, the manufacturer repays the surety. It is not insurance for the business.
