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 $25,000 tier — the broker level, and the entry tier for lower-volume dealers. Ours is $750 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.
Most of these clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, you hear from an underwriter 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.
$25,000 bond × 3% = $750, 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 (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%.
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.
