STATE Dwelling ContractorDSPS Certified
General contracting in Green Bay, Wisconsin, is governed by a combination of state-level certifications and local municipal oversight. Contractors must first ensure they hold the necessary Dwelling Contractor Certification from the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) if they intend to work on residential properties. This state-level credential serves as the foundation for all subsequent local registrations.
Once state-certified, contractors must register with the City of Green Bay Inspection Division. Compliance involves maintaining active insurance policies, pulling specific permits for every project that alters a structure, and ensuring all work adheres to the Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code. Failure to maintain these records or bypass the inspection process can lead to stop-work orders and significant fines.
