Ohio licenses manufactured home dealers, brokers, and installers under R.C. Chapter 4781, through the Department of Commerce's Manufactured Homes program (which absorbed the former Manufactured Homes Commission). A license requires a surety bond posted for the protection and benefit of the licensee's customers.
The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it stands behind the licensee's compliance with Chapter 4781 and the proper handling of customer transactions. If a dealer, broker, or installer violates the manufactured-home law and a customer is harmed, the customer can recover against the bond.
The common amount is $25,000. For a person engaged in selling new manufactured homes at retail, the statute references a bond, surety, or certificate of deposit of not less than $100,000 for customer protection. Confirm which figure your license requires; if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
