I understand a frequent practice of unlicensed persons is to have the property owner obtain an "Owner-Builder" build- <br />'ing permit that erroneously implies that the property owner is providing hisorherown laborand material personally. l, as an <br />Owner-Builder, may be held liable and subject to serious financaal risk for any injuries sustained by an unlicensed person and <br />hls or her employees whlle working on my property. My homeowner's insurance may not provide coverage for those injuries. I <br />am willfully acting as an Owner-Builder and am aware of the limits of my insurance coverage for injuries to workers on my prop- <br />erty. <br />N!-r. t understand building permits are not required to be signed by property owners unless they are responsible for the <br />construction and are not hiring a licensed Contractor to assume this responsibility. <br />Ja-g. t understand as an "Owner-Builde/' I am the responsible pa(y of record on the permit. I understand that I may protect <br />''nryself from potential financial risk by hiring a licensed Contractor and having the permit filed in his or her name instead of my <br />own. <br />lJ&-q. t understand Contractors are required by law to be licensed and bonded in California and to list their license numbers <br />on permits and contracts, <br />ILL-S. t understand if I employ or otheMise engage any persons, other than California licensed Contractors, and the total <br />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 />U.C 6. lunderstand if lam considered an "employer" under state and Federal law, I must register with the state and federal <br />'government, withhold payroll taxes, provide workers' compensation disability insurance, and contribute to unemployment com- <br />pensation of each "employee." I also understand my failure to abide by these laws may subject me to serious financial risk. <br />L L-1. I understand under California Contractors' State License Law, an Owner-Builder who builds singlejamily residential <br />structures cannot legally build them with the intent to offer them for sale, unless a/l work is performed by licensed subcontrac- <br />tors and the number of structures does not exceed four within any calendar years, or all of the work is performed under contract <br />with a licensed general building Contractor. <br />.l.ltl "_8 I understand as an Owner-Builder if I sell the property for which this permit is issued, I may be held liable for any f inan- <br />cial or personal injuries sustained by any subsequent owne(s) that result from any latent construction defects in the workman' <br />ship or materials. <br />NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER
