## Builder Licensing - New Home Buyer Protection Amendment Act
Beginning December 1, 2017, new requirements are in effect for residential builders in Alberta. All residential builders are required to have a builder licence in order to construct new homes.
Builder licensing is intended to reduce the risks prospective home owners face by establishing a licensing system, providing information on builders, and creating provisions to remove or suspend builders when necessary to protect home owners from negligent or unscrupulous businesses.
Builder licensing applies to anyone constructing new homes, including condominiums and large multi-family homes, as well as renovations when a residential construction project requires new home warranty coverage.
To ensure construction activities are not disrupted, the program will be phased in, with full implementation planned for May 1, 2018.
For more information, including applications, visit the Alberta Municipal Affairs page on Builder Licensing or download the brochure on What You Need to Know.
## Builder Home Warranty Coverage Required
**Note:** As of February 1, 2014, appropriate warranty coverage is required before applying for a building permit. More information on home warranties can be found here:
