CAUTIONARY STATEMENT TO OWNERS
OBTAINING BUILDING PERMITS
101.65(1r) of the Wisconsin statutes requires municipalities that enforce the Uniform Dwelling
Code to provide an owner who applies for a building permit with a statement advising the owner
that:
If the owner hires a contractor to perform work under the building permit and the contractor is
not bonded or insured as required under s. 101.654 (2) (a), the following consequences might
occur:
(a) The owner may be held liable for any bodily injury to or death of others or for any damage to
the property of others that arises out of the work performed under the building permit or that
is caused by any negligence by the contractor that occurs in connection with the work
performed under the building permit.
(b) The owner may not be able to collect from the contractor damages for any loss sustained by
the owner because of a violation by the contractor of the one and two family dwelling code or
an ordinance enacted under sub. (1) (a), because of any bodily injury to or death of others or
damage to the property of others that arises out of the work performed under the building
permit or because of any bodily injury to or death of others or damage to the property of
others that is caused by any negligence by the contractor that occurs in connection with the
