OWNER'S ACKNOWLEGMENT AND VERIFICATION OF INFORMATON DIRECTIONS: Read and initial each statement below to signify you understand or verify this information. 1.

My homeowner's insurance may not provide coverage for those injuries. I am willfully acting as an Owner-Builder and am aware of the limits of my insurance coverage for injuries to workers on my property. 2. I understand building permits are not required to be signed by property owners unless they are responsible for the construction and are not hiring a licensed Contractor to assume this responsibility. 3. I understand as an 'Owner-Builder" I am the responsible party of record on the permit. 1 understand that I may protect myself from potential financial risk by hiring a licensed Contractor and having the permit filed in his or her name instead of my own. 4 4. I understand Contractors are required by law to be licensed and bonded in California and to list their license numbers on permits and contracts. %31 5. I understand if I employ or otherwise engage any persons, other than California licensed Contractors, and the total value of my construction is at least five hundred dollars ($500), including labor and materials, I may be considered an "employer" under state and federal law. p f b. 1 understand if I am considered an "employer" under state and Federal law, I must register with the state and federal government, withhold payroll taxes, provide workers' compensation disability insurance, and contribute to unemployment compensation of each "employee." I also understand my failure to abide by these laws may subject me to serious financial risk. 06 7. I understand under California Contractors' State License Law, an Owner-Builder who builds single-family residential structures cannot legally build them with the intent to offer them for sale, unless a// work is performed by licensed subcontractors and the number of structures does not exceed four within any calendar years, or all of the work is performed under contract with a licensed general building Contractor.
