It shall be a violation of this rule for any licensee to fail to continually maintain liability and property damage insurance in amounts set forth herein.
(2) To verify the accuracy of the signed affidavit, the Board will, from time to time, conduct random sample audits of licensees by zip code area in which the total number of certificates and registrations selected for audit will be in a sufficient amount to insure the validity of the audit. Upon written request by the Board, each selected licensee shall, within thirty days of mailing of request to the licensee, by the Board office, by certified mail, submit proof of coverage, in the form of an original Certificate of Insurance, if available, or in the alternative, a certified copy of the Certificate of Insurance on file with the building department for the period being audited or a copy of the insurance policy in force for the period being audited showing that the licensee had obtained the proper amount of public liability and property damage insurance and that the proper coverage has been continually maintained since the time of the last license renewal.
