Attorney General's Office Initiates Guaranty Fund Collection
The General Assembly has established a Home Builder Guaranty Fund to
protect consumers, similar to the fund operated by the Maryland Home
Improvement Commission. The Guaranty Fund will be available to
consumers who have contracted with a registered home builder and who
suffer an "actual loss" due to incomplete construction, breach of
warranty, failure to meet standards or guidelines, or failure to
return a deposit. Claims against the Guaranty Fund will be limited
to $50,000 per claimant and $300,000 per builder. The Guaranty Fund
applies only to contracts entered into after January 1, 2009. The
Guaranty Fund will be funded through a $50 fee to be paid with each
application for a new home construction permit, which the permit
office began collecting January 1, 2009. The Guaranty Fund fee is
non refundable.
