About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A manufactured home broker arranges sales without taking title the way a dealer does, and Wisconsin sets a lower $25,000 security level for brokers under Wis. Admin. Code SPS 305.323 (s. 101.951). The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee standing behind your compliance with Wisconsin manufactured housing law.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Wisconsin together with harmed consumers. If a broker violates the law and a buyer is harmed, that buyer can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.

If you are actually licensing as a dealer rather than a broker, DSPS sets a higher $50,000 figure — we carry that one too. Confirm the amount on your DSPS application before issuing if you are unsure.

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

FAQ

Common questions.

Do I pay the $25,000?No. You pay $250 — the flat price the checkout charges. The $25,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the state and harmed buyers; it's not a deposit.
What is the difference between the $25,000 and $50,000 bonds?DSPS sets the $25,000 figure for manufactured home brokers and the $50,000 figure for non-broker dealers. Pick the one that matches your license type — and if your paperwork shows a different amount, send it over and we will issue the right one.
I have no dealer number yet — can I apply?Yes. First-time applicants leave the manufactured home dealer number blank; the bond is filed with your initial DSPS license application.
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 $250 either way.
When does it renew?Terms run 1, 2, or 3 years. You'll get renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, and the bond must stay active for your broker license to stay valid.
