Louisiana Manufactured Housing Commission Retailer Bond
Overview
Selling manufactured homes in Louisiana? You need a surety bond issued under the authority of the Louisiana Manufactured Housing Commission before your Retailer license is active. This bond protects Louisiana consumers and the Commission against financial harm caused by a retailer's failure to meet its obligations under state manufactured housing law. Bond Titan makes it fast and simple to get bonded online — no waiting, no back-and-forth with an agent.
Who Needs This Bond?
You're a manufactured home retailer operating — or planning to operate — a dealership in Louisiana, and the Louisiana Manufactured Housing Commission has told you a surety bond is required for your Retailer license. Any individual or business entity that sells manufactured homes to Louisiana consumers under a Commission-issued Retailer license must carry this bond. If you have a sales lot, model home display, or retail location for manufactured homes anywhere in the state, this bond applies to you. It is a statewide requirement administered by the Louisiana Manufactured Housing Commission, not a local or municipal rule.
What is this Bond For?
This bond is a financial guarantee that you, as a licensed manufactured home Retailer, will comply with Louisiana's manufactured housing regulations and fulfill your obligations to buyers and the state. If you fail to deliver a home as contracted, misrepresent a product, or otherwise violate the rules governing manufactured home retail sales, an injured party can file a claim against the bond to recover losses. The bond does not protect you — it protects Louisiana consumers and the Commission from your potential misconduct or non-performance. You remain personally liable for any valid claim paid out.
When is it Required?
Before your Retailer license is issued or renewed by the Louisiana Manufactured Housing Commission, you must have this bond in place — you cannot legally operate a manufactured home retail business in Louisiana without it. The Commission requires proof of bonding at the time of your initial license application, and the bond must remain continuously in force for as long as you hold the license. Letting the bond lapse puts your license at risk and can result in the Commission suspending or revoking your authority to sell manufactured homes in the state. Get bonded before you submit your application package.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide Louisiana requirement and applies to any licensed manufactured home Retailer operating anywhere within Louisiana. The obligee is the Louisiana Manufactured Housing Commission, which has regulatory authority over all manufactured home retailers in the state. There is no county- or city-specific version of this bond — one bond covers your statewide Retailer license.
