What it is and who needs it.
What the time-share bond actually covers
Wisconsin's Time-Share Ownership Act (Wis. Stat. ch. 707) requires a developer to protect purchaser deposits taken before a sale closes. The default is to place those deposits in escrow — but under Wis. Stat. § 707.49(4), a developer may post a surety bond instead.
When a bond is used, it must be in an amount not less than the deposits otherwise subject to escrow, issued by a company authorized to do business in Wisconsin, and filed with the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection, made payable to that department for the benefit of aggrieved parties.
The bond protects purchasers if the developer fails to perform and a deposit must be returned — the surety pays valid claims, and you repay the surety. It frees up the cash you'd otherwise tie up in escrow, at a flat 3% premium and no credit check. Enter the figure your deposits require and we issue it.
