About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

South Carolina licenses manufactured home salespeople through the Manufactured Housing Board within LLR. A multi-lot salesperson is licensed to sell for more than one dealer lot, and the bond is a consumer-protection guarantee backing your compliance with the Uniform Standards Code for Manufactured Housing.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Board (the obligee), with manufactured-home buyers as the protected parties. Claims may be initiated only through the Board's complaint process, and recovery is limited to a consumer's actual damages — not attorney's fees or punitive damages.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The Board can require an increased bond after a violation, and won't release a bond until all claims are resolved or three years after you stop doing business in South Carolina, whichever is later.

S.C. Code § 40-29-230S.C. Code Ann. § 40-29-230 conditions a manufactured home salesperson license on a $15,000 surety bond payable to the Manufactured Housing Board (within LLR). South Carolina issues the salesperson bond on Board form DOC.185; a multi-lot salesperson — one who sells for more than one dealer location — carries the same $15,000 amount. Claims run through the Board's complaint process and are limited to a consumer's actual damages.

After you buy

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 $15,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.

Renewal and term

The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.

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 (Board form DOC.185) arrives by email, ready to file with your license application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.

What sets the price

The premium is fixed at $150 at the $15,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the South Carolina multi-lot salesperson bond?The premium is $150 flat — set by our carrier's rate book for this bond, the same for everyone. The $15,000 bond amount is set by statute, so there is no quote process.
What's the difference between a salesperson and a multi-lot salesperson?A multi-lot salesperson is licensed to sell manufactured homes for more than one dealer location. The bond amount is the same $15,000 as a single-lot salesperson — the distinction is in the license, not the bond figure.
Do I pay the $15,000?No. You pay $150. The $15,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Is there a credit check?No credit check: the application collects no credit information. Most applications approve instantly.
When does it renew?The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the license. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your license never lapses over a missed email.
Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
