North Dakota manufactured home installers must maintain a $10,000 Manufactured Home Installer Bond as part of the state’s licensing process. Specifically, the North Dakota Department of Commerce, Division of Community Services requires this bond under North Dakota Century Code § 54-21.3-08 and North Dakota Administrative Code § 108-03-01-06. The annual license period runs from July 1 through June 30. As a result, installers should obtain their bond before the June 30 deadline each year.

Understanding your bonding requirements can help you avoid licensing delays and remain compliant with North Dakota 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 North Dakota Manufactured Home Installer Bond goes by several names depending on where you look.

You may also see it called:

• North Dakota Manufactured Home Installer Surety Bond
• ND Manufactured Home Installer License Bond
• North Dakota Installer Bond

These all refer to the same $10,000 surety bond described on this page. North Dakota Manufactured Home Installer Bond is simply the common name used across the industry — the official bond form itself is titled Manufactured Home Installer Surety Bond (Form SFN 58388).

The North Dakota Manufactured Home Installer Bond is a $10,000 surety bond required for individuals and businesses licensed to install manufactured homes in North Dakota. In particular, it guarantees that the installer will comply with the state’s laws and regulations governing manufactured home installation and indemnify any person harmed by the installer’s failure to do so. Additionally, this supports compliance with North Dakota Century Code § 54-21.3-08 and Administrative Code § 108-03-01-06, and the licensing requirements administered by the North Dakota Department of Commerce.

If a licensed 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 North Dakota Manufactured Home Installer Bond if you are:

• New applicants applying for a North Dakota Manufactured Home Installer license
• Currently licensed installers renewing before the June 30 deadline
• Installers reinstating a bond that has lapsed

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

The North Dakota Manufactured Home Installer Bond helps protect consumers from losses caused by improper manufactured home installation.

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

• Protect consumers from financial losses caused by improper installation
• Encourage licensed installers to comply with the state’s installation laws and regulations
• Promote accountability and consumer confidence in North Dakota’s manufactured housing industry

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

The required bond amount is $10,000, 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 $200 for one year — no signed indemnity agreement required. In addition, all applicants complete a soft credit pull, which does not affect your credit score. The portal displays your final bond information and price before you complete payment.

North Dakota Manufactured Home Installer licenses run annually from July 1 through June 30, and expire every June 30 regardless of when they were originally issued.

A continuation certificate from your surety must be submitted with each renewal application to confirm your bond remains in force through the new license year.

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

The new license period begins July 1, which the bond form also identifies as the start of the new annual bond obligation.
