What it is and who needs it.
What the dealer bond actually covers
Oregon licenses manufactured-structures dealers — businesses that sell new or used manufactured dwellings and similar structures — through the Department of Consumer and Business Services (DCBS). ORS 446.726 conditions the license on a surety bond (or letter of credit) as a consumer-protection backstop.
The bond guarantees that the dealer does not act fraudulently and follows the laws governing manufactured-structure dealers and dealerships — including the rules on transfers of interest and on moving or altering structures. A buyer harmed by a dealer's fraud or violation can recover against it.
The amount depends on the license type: a standard dealer posts $40,000, while a limited manufactured-structure dealer posts $15,000 for each year the license is valid. Whatever applies to you, pricing is 1% of that amount, with a $100 minimum, and no credit check up to $25,000.

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 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
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 DCBS. Submit the executed bond with your manufactured-structures dealer license application or renewal. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever DCBS insists on them.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $25,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
