The New Home Construction Guaranty Fund can reimburse consumers who are unable to collect for losses resulting from work performed by a registered new home builder. Homeowners may be eligible to receive up to $30,000 from the fund if the following criteria can be met:
  • The homeowner must already have been awarded a court judgment and the registered new home contractor must be found “judgment proof” (having no money or assets in his/her name, or he/she can not be located).
  • The homeowner must retain a sheriff to serve a “writ of execution.” The homeowner is responsible for providing proof that the writ was served and that there was no response.
  • The contractor must have been registered with the Department of Consumer Protection within two years of signing the contract with the homeowner for building the new home.
  • The consumer must apply in writing to the Department of Consumer Protection within two years of the date of the court judgment.
