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 salesperson bond is a consumer-protection guarantee backing your compliance with the Uniform Standards Code for Manufactured Housing as you sell homes for a licensed dealer.

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. If you sell for more than one dealer lot, you carry the multi-lot salesperson license instead — same $15,000 amount. The Board won't release a bond until all claims are resolved or three years after you stop doing business, 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). A salesperson who works more than one dealer location holds a multi-lot salesperson license at the same $15,000 amount. Claims run through the Board's complaint process and are limited to a consumer's actual damages. Bonds are filed on Board form DOC.185.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the South Carolina manufactured home salesperson bond? +
The premium is $450 — a flat 3% of the fixed $15,000 bond amount, the same for every salesperson. The $15,000 is set by statute, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $15,000? +
No. You pay $450. 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.
What if I sell for more than one lot? +
Then you carry the multi-lot salesperson license instead — the bond amount is the same $15,000. The distinction is in the license type, not the bond figure.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Fixed-amount license bonds like this one don't need one.
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.
