NC set-up contractor bonds.
$300. Five minutes.
North Carolina requires every licensed manufactured-home set-up contractor to file a fixed $10,000 bond with the Manufactured Housing Board under G.S. 143-143.12. Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount — and this license bond has no credit check section at all.

What it is and who needs it.
What the set-up contractor bond guarantees
North Carolina licenses the manufactured-housing trades under Chapter 143, Article 9A, with the Manufactured Housing Board overseeing the work. A set-up contractor — the licensee who sites, blocks, anchors and connects a manufactured home — must post a surety bond under G.S. 143-143.12.
The amount is a fixed $10,000. The bond is conditioned on the contractor conforming to Article 9A, and a buyer harmed by a violation in the set-up work can recover against the licensee and the surety. If the surety pays a claim, the contractor repays the surety.
Because the amount is small and fixed, this is one of the simplest bonds we write — no credit check, no financials, just business details and an effective date. The bond follows the statutory June 30 renewal cycle for the manufactured-housing industry.
