HIC Registration Requirement for One to Four Family Owner-Occupied Dwellings
Having an HIC registration is essential for contractors working with one to four family, owner-occupied dwellings. This requirement applies when entering contracts with homeowners of single-family, two-family, three-family, or four-family residences. Commercial projects or new house construction do not mandate an HIC registration. The HIC program offers homeowners protection in case of contractor negligence through access to a guarantee fund funded by registration fees.
