About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Wisconsin regulates manufactured home dealers under s. 101.951 and the Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS), which conditions the dealer license on financial security. The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with Wisconsin manufactured housing law and protects buyers who are harmed by a dealer’s violation.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the State of Wisconsin together with harmed buyers (the protected parties). DSPS lets a dealer satisfy the requirement with a surety bond on form SBD-10679 or, alternatively, a financial statement showing the required net worth.

The $50,000 level applies to dealers, not brokers; brokers post a lower amount. If you are unsure which figure DSPS assigned to your license, send us your application and we will confirm before issuing — we would rather get the amount right than guess.

Wis. Admin. Code SPS 305.323 (s. 101.951)Wisconsin manufactured home dealers are licensed by DSPS under s. 101.951, Stats., and Wis. Admin. Code SPS 305.323, which requires a form of financial security — a surety bond filed on form SBD-10679, or a qualifying financial statement. DSPS sets the amount by dealer/broker status and volume (a $50,000 figure for non-broker dealers, $25,000 for brokers). Confirm your assigned amount on your DSPS application.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

Do I pay the $50,000? +
No. You pay $1,500 — the flat 3% of the bond amount. The $50,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the state and harmed buyers; it's not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Who requires this bond? +
The Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) requires it as one accepted form of security for a manufactured home dealer license, under s. 101.951 and Wis. Admin. Code SPS 305.323. The bond is filed on form SBD-10679.
Why is mine $50,000 and not $25,000? +
DSPS sets a higher security figure for non-broker dealers (commonly $50,000) than for brokers ($25,000). If your license type or assigned amount is different from what you expected, send us your DSPS paperwork and we will issue the correct figure.
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: credit can affect whether we approve the bond, never what it costs.
When does it renew? +
Terms run 1, 2, or 3 years — your choice at purchase. You'll get renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, and the bond must stay active for your dealer license to stay valid.
