How Does an Iowa Mobile/Manufactured Home Retailer's Bond Work? 

As with all surety bonds, a manufactured home retailer bond creates a legal contract between three parties: 

  1. Principal: You, the manufactured housing retailers filing the bond
  2. Obligee: The Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing requiring the bond
  3. Surety: The provider issuing the bond

This holds you financially responsible for upholding the provisions of Chapter 103A of the State Building Code. 

If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you are ultimately responsible for refunding the surety. 

How Do I Renew My Bond?

These bonds expire annually. To renew your manufactured home retailer bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted. 

We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
