WI manufactured home dealer bonds.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

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 (Tables 305.323-1 and 305.323-2), and the bond is filed on form SBD-10679.

This $25,000 tier is the broker level under Table 305.323-2, and the entry bond tier for lower-volume dealers. 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. Dealers who deliver clean title and good records treat the bond as a license formality — confirm which tier applies to your volume on your DSPS application, and if it is higher we issue the $50,000 or $100,000 version at the same flat 3%.

Wis. Stat. 101.951 / SPS 305.323 (form SBD-10679)Wis. Stat. 101.951 requires a manufactured home dealer license (for selling two or more homes a year) from DSPS, conditioned on a minimum net worth or surety bond sized under Wis. Admin. Code SPS 305.323 (Table 305.323-1 for non-brokers, 305.323-2 for brokers) and filed on form SBD-10679. The $25,000 figure is the broker tier / entry level; verify which tier applies on your DSPS application.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the $25,000 manufactured home dealer bond? +
The premium is $750 — a flat 3% of the $25,000 bond amount, the same for every dealer at this tier. A soft credit pull affects approval, never the price.
Which tier do I need — $25,000, $50,000, or $100,000? +
It depends on your role and volume under SPS 305.323. The $25,000 figure is the broker tier and the entry level for lower-volume dealers; higher-volume dealers fall at $50,000 or $100,000. Confirm the amount on your DSPS application — we issue any tier at the same flat 3%.
Can I post net worth instead of a bond? +
Yes — Wis. Stat. 101.951 and SPS 305.323 let a dealer show a minimum net worth or post a surety bond. Many dealers choose the bond because it costs the 3% premium instead of tying up the capital.
Is there a credit check? +
Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. It informs approval, not price. The rate is a flat 3% either way.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active while you hold the license. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available.
