If you apply as the owner for a building permit and hire a contractor who lacks the bond or insurance required by Wisconsin law, you may be responsible for injury or death to other people, or damage to their property, arising from the permitted work or the contractor’s negligence.

You may also be unable to recover from that contractor your losses caused by code violations, the work, or the contractor’s negligence, including losses related to injury, death, or property damage. This warning concerns the financial and legal consequences of hiring an improperly bonded or insured contractor. See Wis. Stat. § 101.65(1r).
