Florida Mobile Home Installer Bond: Requirements, Cost & Renewal Guide

Click Here to Obtain Your Bond

Florida mobile home installers must maintain a $5,000 performance bond as part of the state’s licensing process. The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) administers this requirement under Section 320.8249, Florida Statutes. The annual license period runs from October 1 through September 30. As a result, licensed installers should obtain their bond before the September 30 deadline each year.

Understanding your bonding requirements can help you avoid licensing delays and remain compliant with Florida law.

At American Surety Bonds Agency, qualified applicants can purchase this bond online through our Instant Issue platform. This makes it fast and easy to meet the state’s bonding requirements.

The Florida Mobile Home Installer Bond goes by several names depending on where you look.

You may also see it called:

• Florida Manufactured/Mobile Home Installer Bond
• Mobile Home Installer Performance Bond
• FL Installer Performance Bond
• Mobile Home Installation License Bond
• Manufactured Housing Installer Bond

These all refer to the same $5,000 surety bond described on this page. Florida Mobile Home Installer Bond is simply the common name used across the industry — the official bond form itself is titled the Performance Bond – Manufactured/Mobile Home Installer (Form HSMV 81402).

The Florida Mobile Home Installer Bond is a $5,000 performance bond required for a Mobile Home Installer License (IH). It guarantees that the installer will properly perform mobile home installation and weather-sealing duties. Additionally, this supports compliance with Section 320.8249, Florida Statutes, and the licensing requirements administered by FLHSMV.

If an installer fails to meet those duties and causes a covered loss, an eligible claim may be made against the bond, providing financial protection for consumers.

You must obtain a Florida Mobile Home Installer Bond if you are:

• New applicants completing the FLHSMV licensing process
• Currently licensed installers renewing their license
• Installers reinstating a bond that has lapsed

Because of this, applicants must also satisfy Florida’s other licensing requirements to obtain and maintain their Mobile Home Installer License.

The Florida Mobile Home Installer Bond helps protect consumers and promote proper installation practices within the state’s mobile home industry.

As a result, by requiring licensed installers to maintain a surety bond, Florida helps:

• Protect consumers from financial losses caused by improper installation or weather-sealing work
• Encourage licensed installers to comply with Florida’s installation laws and regulations
• Promote accountability and consumer confidence in the mobile home industry

Ultimately, by maintaining an active surety bond, licensed installers demonstrate their commitment to complying with Florida law and protecting the consumers they serve.

The required bond amount is $5,000, but installers do not pay that full amount upfront. Instead, the premium is the price you pay to obtain the bond. Through our Instant Issue platform, the estimated premium starts as low as $100 for one year. The portal displays your final bond information and price before you complete payment.

One of the most important dates for Florida mobile home installers is September 30. Licensed installers must maintain an active surety bond as part of the annual licensing requirements.

Obtaining your bond before the deadline helps keep your license in compliance and helps you avoid unnecessary delays.

Because of this, American Surety Bonds Agency recommends starting the process several weeks early to allow time for processing.

The new license period begins October 1, which the bond form also identifies as the premium anniversary date.
