WA motor vehicle manufacturer bonds.
From $200.
Washington licenses vehicle manufacturers through the Department of Licensing and conditions the license on a surety bond under RCW 46.70.075. The amount turns on what you build — the statute names $40,000 for a manufactured/mobile home maker and $20,000 for a travel trailer maker. Pricing is 1% of your bond amount — $200 for a $20,000 travel trailer bond, $400 for a $40,000 manufactured home bond, and your exact price appears at the application.

What it is and who needs it.
What the manufacturer bond actually covers
Washington licenses vehicle manufacturers through the Department of Licensing under chapter 46.70 RCW, the dealers-and-manufacturers law. RCW 46.70.075 conditions that license on a surety bond, approved by the attorney general as to form, running to the state of Washington.
The bond is conditioned that the manufacturer will conduct business in conformity with chapter 46.70 RCW and with all state and federal standards for the construction or safety of the vehicles it builds. People harmed by a manufacturer's violation can recover against the bond.
The amount is set by what you manufacture: the statute names $40,000 for a manufacturer of mobile (manufactured) homes and $20,000 for a manufacturer of travel trailers. Confirm the exact figure on your DOL notice — we issue whatever amount they require, priced at 1% of the bond amount, $200 for a $20,000 travel trailer bond, $400 for a $40,000 manufactured home bond. The application collects no credit information at the standard amount.
