Your 2-5-10 Warranty
The warranty on your home is called a 2-5-10 warranty, which
describes the limits to your coverage. In the first year, your
home is covered for defects in workmanship and material, and in
years 1 and 2, your warranty covers defects in the major systems
of your house or unit such as heating, plumbing and electrical.
The "5" means that your home is covered against water ingress
for the first five years. The "10" means your home is covered
for major structural defects for a full 10 years from the time
the house is first occupied.
The Homeowner Protection Act & Regulations ("Act") became
effective July 1, 1999. Prior to the issuance of a building
permit, the Act requires all residential builders to be licensed
by the Homeowner Protection Office (HPO) and to provide the
"2/5/10" warranty from an approved third party warranty
provider.
For further information, please contact the HPO at: (604)
