Etiquette

• Ask permission to take photos. In this age of social media and digital phones, it’s tempting to snap a photo of anything that interests you. Please ask the builder or Realtor working the home for permission first. And remember, that floor plans and unique home layouts can present a copyright concern.

• Wear socks and remove your shoes when you tour Parade entries. Some homes may provide shoe covers.

• Bring your children, but keep them close! Many homes are beautifully staged with fragile décor. Please leave pets at home.

• No food or drink is allowed in the Parade homes.

• Do not use bathrooms in Parade homes.

Extra Tips

• Licensing Requirements: On each home listing in this magazine, you will see the builders’ license numbers listed for Minnesota and North Dakota (examples: MN BC003792; ND 369). Builders acquire license numbers for the states in which they work. North Dakota requires a contractor to obtain a license when the cost, value or price per job exceeds $2,000. Minnesota requires contractors to acquire licenses when the annual gross receipts from residential contracting or remodeling activities exceeds $15,000. To check the status of a license, or for more details, visit www.nd.gov/sos/licensing (N.D.) or https://secure.doli.state.mn.us/ lookup/licensing (Minnesota).

• Protect yourself: All home plans are the property of the architect, designer or builder and may not be copied. Please ask permission before taking any photos. See page 24 for more information.
