Confirm the approved amount and any approved program

The County's explanation does not give a single numeric sum. It also permits bonding through a Board-approved organized program with complaint-processing and resolution procedures providing substantially the same public protection. Association membership alone does not establish that approval.

The County says failure to maintain the required bond leads to immediate license revocation. Treat maintenance of accepted security as a continuing licensing requirement, not something proved forever by the initial purchase.

Complete the County application as well as the bond

The County explains that State home-builder registration and MHIC licensing for home improvement are separate requirements. Its property-owner exception concerns an owner constructing their own dwelling with proper permits, not a general waiver for hired contractors.

The application process involves an approved written form and the Board's review of experience, financial responsibility and compliance. Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab; it does not conduct that County review.

Before applying with the provider, match the applicant, County recipient, accepted form, approved sum and dates. After issuance, check execution and deliver under the Building Official's current directions. Do not treat provider payment as a County license or permission to start a project.
