Huizar <br />|- <br />We are providing you with an Owner-Builder Acknowledoment and lnformation Verification Form to make you aware of <br />your responsibilities and possible risk you may incur by having this permit issued in your names as the Owner-Builder <br />We will not issue a building permit until you have read, initialed your understanding of each provision, signed, and returned <br />this form to us at our official address indicated. An agent of the owner cannot execute this notice unless you, the property <br />owner, obtain the prior approval of the permittjng authority. <br />OWNER'S ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND VERIFICATION OF INFORMATON <br />DIRECTIONS: Read and initial each statement below to signify you understand or verify this information. <br />y 1 I understand a frequent practice of unlicensed persons is to have the property owner obtain an 'Owner-Builder' <br />building permit that erroneously implies that the property owner is providing his or her own labor and material personally. l, <br />as an Owner-Builder, may be held liable and subject to serious financial risk for any injuries sustained by an unlicensed <br />person and his or her employees while working on my property. My homeowner's insurance may not provide coverage for <br />those injuries. I am willfully acting as an Owner-Builder and am aware of the limits of my insurance coverage for injuries to <br />workers on my property. <br />/v Z. I understand building permits are not required to be signed by property owners unless they are responsible for <br />the construction and are not hiring a licensed Contractor to assume this responsibility. <br />7 3 I understand as an "Owner-Builder' I am the responsible party of record on the permit. I understand that I may <br />prbtect myself from potential financial risk by hiring a licensed Contractor and having the permit filed in his or her name <br />instead of my own. <br />-{_+. I understand Contractors are required by law to be licensed and bonded in California and to list their license <br />ni.imbers on permits and contracts. <br />,|'a 5. I understand if I employ or otherwise engage any persons, other than California licensed Contractors, and the <br />total value of my construction is at least five hundred dollars ($500), including labor and materials, I may be considered an <br />"employer" under state and federal law. <br />,f/ A. I understand if I am considered an "employer" under state and Federal law, I must register with the state and <br />federal government, withhold payroll taxes, provide workers' compensation disability insurance, and contribute to <br />unemployment compensation of each "employee." I also understand my failure to abide by these laws may subject me to <br />serious financial risk. <br />t/ 7. I understand under California Contractors' State License Law, an Owner-Builder who builds single-family <br />residential structures cannot legally build them with the intent to offer them for sale, unless a// work is performed by <br />mpulido@sanla-anA-olq <br />Mayor Pro Tem, Ward 2 <br />mimadinez(asanta-ana.oro <br />Vrcenre Samrenro <br />vsamreNroosanra-a.3 0ro so ono@sa.la ana oro <br />P Oavrd Benavides <br />dbenavrdesAsa.ta-a.a oro iv reoaslosanta ana oro sli.aiero@sa.te-ana.oro <br />I <br />SANTA ANA CITY COUNCIL
