About this bond

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.

S.C. Code § 23-43-150 & Reg 8-623South Carolina's Modular Buildings Construction Act (S.C. Code Ann. § 23-43-150) conditions a modular building license on a surety bond in an amount set by the Building Codes Council. S.C. Code Regs. 8-623 fixes the bond at $75,000 for manufacturers and $10,000 for manufacturer's representatives. Confirm the amount on your license application.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

Do I pay the $75,000? +
No. You pay $2,250 — the flat 3% of the bond amount. The $75,000 is the surety's maximum liability; it's not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Who requires this bond? +
South Carolina's Modular Buildings Construction Act (§ 23-43-150) requires it, with the amount fixed by the Building Codes Council in Reg 8-623. No active bond, no license.
What's the difference between the manufacturer and representative bond? +
A modular building manufacturer posts a $75,000 bond; a manufacturer's representative posts $10,000. We write both — pick the one that matches your license.
Is there a credit check? +
Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. It's the only extra step beyond the application, and it informs approval, not price. The rate is a flat 3% either way: credit can affect whether we approve the bond, never what it costs.
When does it renew? +
Terms run 1, 2, or 3 years — your choice at purchase. You'll get renewal notices 60 and 30 days before expiration, with autopay available, and the bond must stay active for your license to stay valid.
