What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
South Carolina's Modular Buildings Construction Act requires factory-built (modular) building manufacturers to be licensed and to post a surety bond. Licensing and inspection run through the Building Codes Council (within LLR), and the bond backs your compliance with the Act and the building standards modular units must meet.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State (the obligee), with purchasers and the public as the protected parties. If a manufacturer violates the Act and someone is harmed, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The manufacturer bond is set at $75,000; a manufacturer's representative posts $10,000. Manufacturers who follow the Act treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.

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 $75,000 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.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
