Beginning July 1, 2009, building contractor businesses in Wisconsin need to be registered with the state Department of Commerce, Safety and Buildings Division. The four -year, $25 per year, Building Contractor Registration (BCR) will be for businesses whose work is regulated under any of the Commerce codes affecting commercial buildings, places of employment, one- and two-family dwellings, and public swimming pools. People holding dwelling contractor certifications WILL NOT need the BCR to obtain one- and two-family permits, but they may want the registration to do commercial construction work.
