I also understand my failure to abide by these laws may subject me to <br />serious financial risk. <br />l-e 7. lunderstand 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 />SANTA ANA CITY COUNCIL <br />Mayot Prc ren, Watd 2 <br />mimarlinez@santa-ana.oro vs3 m entoa6sania-a na.oro isolorlo@sa.la'ana oro <br />P.
