New Mexico — Consumer Protection (Installer Or Repairman) Bond
New Mexico's manufactured housing installers and repairmen must maintain consumer protection security with the Manufactured Housing Division. Match the bond to that license and work, rather than treating the catalog name as a requirement for every repair business.

Questions about this bond
Is this an electronics or general repair-shop bond?
The verified requirement here concerns installers and repairmen of manufactured homes under the Manufactured Housing Division's rules. Do not apply its terms to an unrelated repair business.
Is the amount always $10,000?
That is the minimum under Rule14.12.4.13. The Division prescribes the amount and can require increased installer or repairman security after violations under the general bond rule.
Does every warranty complaint receive a bond payment?
No. A written-warranty violation is a specified basis for consumer protection, but the complaint, findings, actual loss and applicable bond limits still matter. The bond is not an unconditional replacement warranty.
Can the surety cancel as soon as I stop working?
The rules require sixty days' prior written notice and Division approval of cancellation. Release also depends on unresolved claims and the rule's post-business period; stopping work alone does not release the security.
