What is a Mobile Home Dealer Bond?
A mobile home dealer bond is a form of license bond required for individuals and companies that work as dealers of manufactured homes. A mobile home dealer bond protects the state licensing authority and the general public when interacting with a mobile home dealer.

Who are the Parties Involved in a Mobile Home Dealer Bond?
As with other surety and license bonds, a mobile home dealer bond is a contract between three parties. The obligee is the state licensing agency that requires the bond to be in place. The principal is the mobile home dealer that purchases the bond. The surety is the company that provides the bond to the principal. When a claim is made against a mobile home dealer bond, the surety pays for the losses and then requires repayment from the mobile home dealer.
Who Needs to Obtain a Mobile Home Dealer Bond?
