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. Most applications approve instantly. The bond follows the statutory June 30 renewal cycle for the manufactured-housing industry.

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 $10,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The term is set on the carrier’s application; the premium covers the period shown there.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, June 30, in the year your term ends.
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 Manufactured Housing Board. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your set-up contractor license. The bond is subject to the statutory June 30 renewal date.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
