Wisconsin licenses manufactured home dealers through DSPS, and conditions the license on a surety bond (or net worth) under Wis. Stat. 101.951 and SPS 305.323. This is the $100,000 tier — the higher-volume dealer level. Ours is $3,000 flat, 3% of the bond amount.
















Your DSPS dealer license is waiting on this bond. Here's the entire process — no broker phone tag:
Business details, owner information, effective date. The only extra step is a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Larger bonds like this may get a brief underwriter look; you hear back within 48 hours. The credit check is a soft pull that never affects your score.
Pay online and receive the executed bond (form SBD-10679), ready to file with your manufactured home dealer license application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists.
$100,000 bond × 3% = $3,000, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
Wisconsin requires a license to sell two or more manufactured homes in a calendar year, issued by the Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) under Wis. Stat. 101.951. A dealer must show financial responsibility — a minimum net worth or a surety bond — sized in SPS 305.323, and the bond is filed on form SBD-10679.
This $100,000 tier is the higher-volume dealer level under Table 305.323-1, applied to dealers whose volume puts them above the standard tier. The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it stands behind clear title and your compliance with the manufactured-home dealer laws, including the warranty and disclosure duties in Wis. Stat. 101.953.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays a valid claim, you repay the surety. The exact tier is set by SPS 305.323 against your operation — confirm the amount on your DSPS application; if a lower tier applies we issue the $25,000 or $50,000 version at the same flat 3%.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
