I understand a frequent practice of unlicensed persons is to have the property owner obtain an "Owner-Builde/' build- <br />g permit that erroneously implies that the property owner iS providing his or her own labor and material personally. l, as an <br />Owner-Builder, may be held liable and subject to serious flnancial risk for any injuries sustained by an unlicensed person and <br />his or her employees while 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 />ertv. <br />\NJ.)f--]Z t understand burlding 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 />3. I understand as an "Owner-Builde/' I am the responsible party of record on the permit. I understand that I may protect <br />myse t from potentral financial risk by hiring a licensed Contractor and having the permlt filed in his or her name instead of my <br />own. <br />\NP\\ -\ 4. I understand Contractors are required by law to be licensed and bonded in Californla and to list their license numbers <br />on permits and contracts. <br />5. I understand if lemploy or otheMise engage any persons, other than California licensed Contractors, and the total <br />lue of my construct,on is at least five hundred dollars ($500), including labor and materials, I may be considered an <br />"employer" under state and federal law. <br />-S\ ' <br />understand if I am 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 fallure to ablde by these laws may subject me to serious financial risk. <br />\$V\. l. I understand under California Contractors' State License Law, an Owner-Builder who builds single-family residentialffiIrr"s cannot legally build them with the intent to offer them for sale, unless a// work is performed by iicensed 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 buildang Contractor <br />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 finan- <br />bial or personal injuries sustained by any subsequent owner(s) that result from any latent construction defects in the workman- <br />ship or materials.
