An agent of the owner cannot execute this notice unless you, the property <br />owner, obtain the prior approval of the permitting 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 />- 4 I I understand a frequent practice of unlicensed persons is to have the property owner obtain an "Owner-Builder" <br />builifing 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 />442 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 />71q5. I understand as an "Owner-Builder" I am the responsible party of record on the permit. I understand that I may <br />protect 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 />ZAC. I understand Contractors are required by law to be licensed and bonded in California and to list their license <br />numUers on permits and contracts. <br />71lS I understand if I employ or otherwise engage any persons, other than California licensed Contractors, and the <br />total \ialue 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 />1/l/-q 6. I understand if I am considered an "employer" under state and Federal law, I must register with the state and <br />fedetal 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 />f47 . I understand under California Contractors' State License Law, an Owner-Builder who builds single-family <br />residbntial structures cannot legally build them with the intent to offer them for sale, unless a// work is performed by <br />SANTA ANA CITY COUNCIL <br />mouirdo@sa.ta-ana.oro <br />Mayo.
