  2. provide BCH Compliance Department with proof that the New Home is enrolled in a policy of HWI pursuant to section 22 of the Act;
  3. if Hunter meets the eligibility requirements, Hunter may apply for, and be issued, an Owner Builder Authorization for the New Home on the property pursuant to section 20(1) of the Act and section 4.1(2) of the Homeowner Protection Act Regulation; or
  4. provide BCH Compliance Department with evidence that the New Home is no longer a residential dwelling and does not meet the definition of a “new home” as defined under the Act.
