South Carolina requires a licensed modular building manufacturer's representative to post a $10,000 bond under the Modular Buildings Construction Act. Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount, identical for everyone. The application is five minutes.
















License bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit check section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
License bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the Building Codes Council for your representative license. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
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.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
