How the Wisconsin Dwelling Contractor Certification Bond Works
The Wisconsin dwelling contractor bond protects property owners and the public who could suffer financial harm if a contractor fails to follow the state dwelling code. It guarantees that certified contractors comply with building and safety regulations on one- and two-family homes. Applicants for a Milwaukee dwelling contractor bond or a Madison dwelling contractor bond must meet this same financial-responsibility standard before pulling permits.
The surety bond involves three parties:
- Principal: Certified dwelling contractor
- Obligee: Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services
- Surety: Bonding company
A claim against the bond may be filed when a Green Bay dwelling contractor, or any certified contractor, violates the dwelling code or fails to correct cited violations and causes a financial loss. The surety pays valid claims up to the bond amount, and the contractor is responsible for reimbursing the surety in full.
