Wisconsin licenses manufactured home dealers through the Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS), and conditions the license on a surety bond filed on form SBD-10679. At the $50,000 security level, ours is $500 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. A quick soft credit check may apply, e-signed in 1–2 business days.
















Your DSPS dealer license is waiting on this bond. Here is 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. Any credit check that runs is a soft pull that never affects your score.

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.
These are the actual underwriting fields. A quick soft credit check may apply — never a hard inquiry, no impact on your score. Submit once and your bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
