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.
