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.

At 51 or more homes a year, $50,000 is the broker tier (Table 305.323-2); a non-broker dealer at that volume posts $100,000 under Table 305.323-1, and we write that form too. 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: non-broker dealers post $50,000 up to 50 homes a year and $100,000 at 51 or more (Table 305.323-1); brokers post $25,000 up to 50 and $50,000 at 51 or more (Table 305.323-2). Confirm your assigned amount on your DSPS application.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do I pay the $50,000?No. You pay $500 — the flat price the checkout charges. 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 than for brokers at every volume: $50,000 against $25,000 up to 50 homes a year, and $100,000 against $50,000 at 51 or more. 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?A quick soft credit check may apply — it's never a hard inquiry and never touches your score. It informs approval, not price: the price stays $500 either way.
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.
