What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A dealer of modular building units sells, brokers, or distributes factory-built modular units to buyers who use them rather than resell them. Tennessee licenses these dealers and conditions the license on a $50,000 bond — twice the installer’s amount, reflecting the dealer’s broader role.
The bond is a code-compliance guarantee: it is for the benefit of any person who suffers loss or damage from code-related non-compliance with the Tennessee Modular Building Act or its rules. It is a three-party arrangement among you (the principal), the surety, and the State of Tennessee (the obligee).
The bond term runs concurrent with the license year — July 1 through June 30 — so a new bond or continuation certificate goes with each renewal. Dealer licensing runs through the Consumer Affairs Division within Commerce & Insurance. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
