What is the required bond amount for a dealer per location?

The required bond amount for a manufactured home dealer in South Carolina is set at $30,000 per location. This requirement is designed to provide a level of financial assurance that can cover potential claims made against the dealer, ensuring that consumers are protected in the event of any disputes or issues such as failure to deliver a home as promised, or other contractual obligations not being met.

The bond acts as a safety net that helps build trust in the manufactured home industry and signals to buyers that the dealer must adhere to legal and ethical business practices. Compliance with this bonding requirement is crucial for maintaining licensure and operating legally as a dealer in the state.
