About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

South Carolina's Modular Buildings Construction Act requires a modular building manufacturer's representative — the party who sells or markets a manufacturer's modular units in the state — to be licensed and to post a surety bond. Licensing runs through the Building Codes Council (within LLR).

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 representative 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 representative bond is set at $10,000; the modular manufacturer itself posts $75,000. Representatives 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 $10,000 for a manufacturer's representative and $75,000 for a manufacturer. Confirm the amount on your license application.

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 $10,000 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 for your license. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the Building Codes Council for your representative license. Wet-ink original mailed on request.

What sets the price

The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
